''Monsterful'' is a SliceOfLife webcomic created by Pablo T. Fiorentino (Artist and Writer) and Mariale Fiorentino (Co-Writer). It stars Sapphire, a zombie girl, and her friends and family. The setting is a world where only monsters live, so there's no need for them to hide or blend in like in most other monster stories.
The Chapters usually focus on a specific group of characters. Most chapters focus on Sapphire and her friends, but other chapters have shifted the attention on other characters and their friends, mostly Sapphire's siblings Onyx, Ruby and Topaz. One chapter focuses on Michelle Flammel as well.
Unusually enough, there seemed to be no issues for Zombies, Ragdolls, Vampires and who-knows-what-else to interbreed.
Starting in May 2016, the comic officially went into an indefinite hiatus, with all of the comic pages and other materials removed and replaced with a single page containing an author's note that proclaimed the hiatus and expressed a desire to reboot the comic sometime in the future. The comic's last update was in 2014, and the author's Twitter has not been active since. By 2019, the Monsterful.com domain expired. The website was archived by [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150907114730/http://monsterful.com/ the Wayback Machine]] and can still be browsed to an extent in snapshots from 2015 on back, but the actual pages of the comic were unfortunately not preserved.

She gives a perfect example of this in this ''[[http://www.monsterful.com/znp11-2.php ZNP strip]]''

Christopher takes the power even further by being capable of [[spoiler:generating entire illusions and manifestations with his flame]].Samantha Thing is another example of this, her hybrid Monster species (half futakuchi-onna) gives her everlasting long hair and the ability to freely manipulate it.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MonsterMash MonsterMash]] As if the title "Monsterful" wasn't already an indication that it had monsters!
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Every single character from the Ask a ZNP strips falls into this category, you get from the main ZNP (zombie ninja pirate) to a VSV (Vampiric Spartan Viking), PGS (Perverted Ghost Samurai), PHC (Psychotic Homunculus cyborg) and the list goes on.

** The cold they may feel is justified since they all have tremendous magical abilities
* SmellySkunk: Aimee Mouffette is an Inverted version of the trope. She's a werewolf that had her inner Wolf exchanged with a Skunk, instead of a bad smell she produces a [[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter13page09.php delicious floral scent.]]
** Her last name also means Skunk in French.
* StalkerWithACrush: Jacob to Sapphire (for the first chapter only); Michelle to Jacob

** Pearl

* TooDumbToLive: Sapphire, she has so many "special" moments that it's just easier to read the comic than making a page for it.
** The second one caused a fangirl avalanche on the [[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter12page06.php very first page he appeared]].
