FAQs
Does there have to be a monster in the story/the artwork that is important for the plot/the piece of art? - Yes, definitely! The monster can be purely imaginary though, like in a dream, or maybe people only think there is a monster, but it turns out there is not. It must be a driving force of the plot/central element of the artwork, though.
What is a monster? - "A monster is a type of fictional creature found in horror, fantasy, science fiction, folklore, mythology and religion. Monsters are very often depicted as dangerous and aggressive with a strange, grotesque appearance that causes terror and fear. Monsters usually resemble bizarre, deformed, otherworldly and/or mutated animals or entirely unique creatures of varying sizes, but may also take a human form, such as mutants, ghosts and spirits, zombies or cannibals, among other things. They may or may not have supernatural powers, but are usually capable of killing or causing some form of destruction, threatening the social or moral order of the human world in the process." "Wikipedia - Monster"
Must the monster be evil and scary? - No, not necessarily. There are "good" monsters in the original Witcher books, like Dopplers or even a Higher Vampire. The monster could also just be a mischievous goblin that hides socks. Humour and fluff very welcome!
Must the monster die? - That is totally up to you. There are quite a few examples in the books where Geralt does not kill the monster, even cases where he befriends it.
Is sex with a monster allowed? - Sure, why not? Just tag it accordingly if it is nsfw or any warnings/triggers apply (like non-con etc.).

Summary: "Die, you mother-fucking monster! Will you finally die?" Lambert roars, yet the monster seems to have other plans. For the umpteenth time it reassembles its scattered fragments and attacks again. Damn!
Excerpt:
"What the fucking hell is this thing?" he pants. "I've never read anything about a creature even remotely resembling this in any of your Witcher books! And I believe I've read them all!"
"Not the slightest idea," Geralt says, breathing heavily. He has tried everything he can think of against the creature, different blades, of course, oils, Witcher signs, but to no avail. The beast does not seem to have a circulatory system, so Brown oil didn't work. Cinfrid oil did not have any effect at all, so it obviously does not feel pain, Hanged Man's Venom was equally useless. The creature's physiology must be too different from a human's for it to be poisonous. Which is not really surprising considering the beast lacks any resemblance to humans whatsoever. It apparently is not an insectoid, necrophage, ornithosaur, spectre or vampire either as none of their creature specific oils has helped in the least. In addition, they have tried to roast it with Igni, stun it with Aard, trap it with Yrden and confuse it with Axii, yet the effects were only very short-lived, if there were any at all. Now Geralt is sadly running out of ideas. And the fucking monster is attacking again with incredible speed.
Ignoring the searing pain from the bite wound in his butt, Geralt swivels around and blasts the beast into the wall with Aard. One hole in his backside is more than enough, thank you very much! However, it only gives them the briefest of breaks to recover their breaths while the creature's body sort of drips from the wall. Then it reassembles itself into its more defined yet strangely amorphous shape again. And, before the Witchers know what is happening, it half flies, half jumps into Lambert's face.
"Argh!" is the only sound he can make before the pointy teeth sink themselves into his hairy cheek.
