Playing AS monsters?

[mrm1138]

I'm curious if anyone knows of a game besides World/Chronicles of Darkness where you play as traditional monsters (i.e., not goblins, kobolds, trolls, etc.) in present day. I'm thinking something like the setting for the original Chill (and its descendant Cryptworld) only you play the opposite side.

Well there's Vampire: the Masquerade, where you play as a vampire.

Dresden Files includes lots of monsterous character options. Savage Worlds Horror Companion has rules for it.

5e, players were all polymorphed into monsters as part of a some genie shenanigans. Werebear, vampire spawn, otyugh, and flesh golem (all CR 5). They maintained their personalities, but otherwise had the stats of the monsters. The goal was to undo the polymorph while navigating a town where all the denizens had been similarly transformed into monsters of varying CRs. It was chaotic and fun for a few sessions.
