Either way, how are "snarling, non-sapient monster" or "Hannibal Lecter" generic "serial killer" descriptions of personality? What about Lecter's personality would give any clue to Hannibal being a cannibal? Consider HTTP://www.16personalities.com/personality-types, how their behaviour might differ and how that doesn't change whether they wear black hats or white.

May 19, 2021 at 20:52 comment added user2352714 @MadPhysicist I mean...in general most readers would consider the killing and eating of another intelligent being to be immoral, especially if there is no element of necessity to these beings eating people (as would be the case if they must feed on humans to survive) and especially if they used to be humans themselves (and thus don't have the excuse of species-specific ethics or not seeing human beings as people). Plus there are a lot of stories that consider the actions of supernatural predators that kill human beings as "evil" (the list starts with Dracula and goes on from there...)

May 18, 2021 at 20:24 comment added Mad Physicist There's a fundamental problem when you think of the ones not eating humans as "good" and the other ones bad.
