Most of the time from what I have seen on this site, is that the monster takes the role of being the bad guy. Whether that idea being good or bad can easily be debated. My opinion on the topic is neutral because while you do see a lot of stories that fit into that category, it is because so many people can connect to the theme. People are afraid of the monsters that once hid under their bed or the trembling shadows you see at night. It is fit into the human mind to be afraid of the unknown. While a lot of the monster stories all seem the same to me, whether it be a human turning into a monster or just a monster being the antagonist, they must be evoking an emotional response from the readers and writers enough for the story idea to continue on.
