A discussion of monsters

Has fantasy creatures become to standarized?

When was the last time you saw a unique interpretation of a vampire, a goblin, dragon? They all kind of blur together now.

Not saying they can't be done well, but its rather strange that we are so adherent to the baseline of these creatures that are solely in the realm of fiction.

This is not a recipe. They don't have to follow it to the letter.

I may be overreaching in this regard.

I am just curious how others view this matter.
