The problem I see on this is... well define "war criminal".

If a bear kills a man, is it a war criminal? If I lion kills a man, is it a war criminal?

Sure that's not very accurate, but ho many war criminals we could find in say, Napoleonic wars? or the many wars that Romans fought back 2000 years ago?

It all happened "so long ago" that such thing as "war criminal" didn't really even exist. Back then if you went to war, you either lived or died, that's it. Of course, if you were unlucky, you might end up crippled, or slave. but hey that happens in war.

such things as "war crimes" didnt really exist until there were some form of set of rules that everyone agreed. and that in our universe happened sometime in 1800's.

As the monsters converted to their monster girl form about "thousand years ago". but what time they are living? are they on year 200, or 5200? and how does that translate to our time?

Seeing the monsters the original art for them, we could quesstimate that they are living in a world where technology isnt too advanced, Bows and arrows are a thing, so are axes, maces, swords, and clubs. but not a single firearm. Therefore I would dare to assume that the time what they are living is around 1700's if not earlier. That is compared to time on earth.

Now taking that around 1000 years away, when the monsters converted to their form as they are now... we are talking year 700 or so.

Therefore I would say "war criminal" is something that does not exist. or at least didnt exist at the time of the conversion.

But would there be someone who has done truly horrible things. Definitely. But when that someone did it. Were he/she not much more than "advanced animal". or someone who knowingly was evil? and has he/she changed during those 1000 years. We know Dragons have changed, and Dragons, and what ever lives in demon realms are most likeliest ones that have lived long enough. and probably some of the undeads of course...
