As I said in my post, KC had to retcon the profiles or make WoG corrections after he published the World Guides and made the Mamonos a more unified thing, and made them the clearly "good" side.

Before the Guides the Mamono were just a collection of creatures, some nicer than others.

After the Guides the Mamono were all established as basically good, and KC retconned stuff like Lamias killing unfaithful husbands, and said that Dark Elves' slaves weren't really slaves...etc.

But stuff like Matangos and Ropers and Parasite Slimes changing women against their will is still difficult to reconcile, because, if the woman didn't want to become a Roper or a Matango, there is no way around it, she is being hurt. She is being forcefully changed into something she most probably found repulsive before the change. And no, the fact that her mind is changed afterwards so she accept the change doesn't make it right, because the woman who was originally attacked didn't want it.
