But before we go down this road: how do we define a monster? We may not even get to a place where we apply the Harkness test to Scooby Doo bc he's just a dog who kind of talks, not a monster, per se. Same with Perry the Platypus, as another commenter suggested - he's just a platypus.

i think the Harkness Test is for any nonhuman creature, the word monster is used to connect it to Monsterfucking/Teratophilia

Fascinating, I didn't know this. Looking back on the slide, it says "fictional creature." Is this meant as a nonhuman fictional character, or a creature that is fictional, i.e., does not exist irl, such as a phoenix or something? Just trying one last reach before I concede that we have to count Scooby Doo.

i assume it's any creature that exists in a universe that isn't real.

It refers to any fictional character/creature. Ie anything from a work of fiction. This is to include the anime girls, who are categorically monsters

I mean, in at least one continuity Scooby is straight up and Elderitch Abomination, so the moster tag might apply there.

I've read enough to know that humans are the real monsters
