Thanks for answering guys, but I have to disagree slightly; technically speaking, the attitude would have to depend both on the type of monster and what media they see.

For instance: unicorns would probably be more confused than digusted and embarrassed, as we typically portray unicorns as wholesome and gentle animals. They would probably find it strange that we don't think of them as a type of centaur.

Also, some monsters might be confused and angered at how some people portray monsters. The "demonic" mamono (succubi, devils, lilim, etc.) would probably be disgusted at best, horrified at worst, at most cultures' depictions of demons in media. Especially if they came across anything that was in the religious horror subgenre.

However, for media that has more romanticised versions of monsters (The Vampire Chronicles, True Blood, The Secret Circle, etc.), I would say that they would say the depictions are more similar to themselves, but still somewhat alien (biggest "inaccuracy" being the existence of male monsters and how they are closer to humans in behavior).

Finally, some characters may be seen as role models for mamono. For instance: Morrigan Aensland from the Darkstalkers series may be seen as someone to look up to, due to how (from what I've seen) she has many traits similar to a traditional succubus, but also has morals. I could even see one of the lilim-most likely Deruella-going to the DL and saying, "Mother, we need to find this person!"

Note: Yes, I know I said "usually", but when I said that, I meant as in all forms of modern media, not just horror or fantasy genres (which tend to have less romantic versions of monsters).

Note 2: Please forgive me for any inaccuracies I made towards the other media mentioned here.
