Monster AU

Monster AU is a popular AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup and Jack Frost are portrayed as monsters. As it is not canon, ideas for this AU are shown through fanfiction, fanart, and other fan-made works.

About this AU
In this AU, the Big Four and the mythology surrounding them are portrayed as monsters. They could be portrayed as monsters of classic folklore and mythology (vampires, werewolves, etc.) or they could be portrayed as completely original monsters. Because the idea of monsters existing as civilians in the fandom is not a new premise, fans like to expand upon this idea in many ways.

Since horror-like features and elements are part of some known monster franchises (and vice versa), fans like to consider this AU an alternative to Horror AU.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Hiccup is most often portrayed as a werewolf, while other times he is a vampire or monster hunter.

Jack Frost
Jack is most often portrayed as a vampire do to his pale skin, snow white hair, and his immortality. Being a winter spirit can also make him a ghost, while becoming a spirit under the light of a full moon could have him as a white furred werewolf.

Merida DunBroch
Merida is often portrayed as a vampire or monster hunter. Using her bow to kill her targets and her necklace as a charm, like a piece of silver to keep them at by and from harming her.

Rapunzel Corona
Just like Merida, Rapunzel is either a vampire or monster hunter. There have also been fans that have placed her as a witch.

Mother Gothel
Most fans often view Gothel as a witch. She can also be a vampire, that allowed herself to be bitten so she could remain young and beautiful forever.

Hotel Transylvania Monsters
Since the monsters from the world of Hotel Transylvania are already monsters, they are mostly portrayed as themselves. Being monsters that want to live in harmony with human or wanting to terrorize them differs from story to story. While Dracula, Frank, Murray, Wayne, Griffin and Blobby can be portrayed as some of the monsters from well-known Monster Films and tales; as their "species" matches some of those monsters and are even based on them.

Guardians of Childhood
Since their duty is to protect children, the Guardians are portrayed as a group of monster hunters. Working together to fight monsters and keeping mankind safe from them.

The Incredibles
Since a Superhero's job is to protect innocent people, the Parr family can easily be portrayed as a family of Monster Hunters. With Violet and Dash Parr just starting the family tradition with their father and his friend teaching and training them how to do it; while their mother looks after their baby brother. Dash would be exited about hunting monsters with his family and keeping people safe from them, while Violet would want to have some normal nights as a normal teenage girl.

Jack-Jack Parr
The Monster AU can allow fans to focus on the youngest Parr's mutant form, which has given him the nickname of Monster Jack-Jack. Along with the temper and tantrum that causes him to transform, until he clams down and reverts back to a normal baby.

The Once-ler
Since the Once-ler's Greed-ler side is commonly used in dark related crossovers and AUs, fans have portrayed Greed-ler as a vampire, zombie and werewolf, while his young self is used as his human self. The person he once was before he got turned into a monster, and reverts back into when he is placed as a werewolf or as a Jekyll and Hyde like character. As Mr. Hyde is commonly placed/seen in many monster related franchises, like Hotel Transylvania.

Queen Elsa
Elsa is cast between a vampire and white furred werewolf. After her monster transformation and had nearly turned her sister into one herself, when she had lost control of herself and had managed to regain her senses before she could truly hurt Anna, Elsa fled to the icy mountains so she couldn't harm anyone.

One of the songs in the Broadway version of Frozen is called "Monster", that Elsa sings, with Hans and the men he brought with him to storm Elsa's ice castle, as Elsa questions her morality and struggles on the course of action she should take to save her people and kingdom from the eternal winter. The song also has Elsa wondering if the people's fears have given them the right to call her a monster, and how she must not become one by gaining control of her powers to end the winter, she unintentionally created, and bring back summer.

Ericka Van Helsing
Since Ericka is a descendant of the famous monster hunter, Abraham Van Helsing, and had followed in his footsteps, she can be portrayed as herself; before she had fell in love with Drac. As well as having her hunt down wicked monsters. Her love for Drac can also have fans portray her as a vampire, should he turn her into one.

Orso Knox
The Monster AU can allow fans to focus on Orso Knox's mutant form, as his name the credits of "Big Problem" (one of the first season episodes of Big Hero 6: The Series) was "Monster".

Kentucky Kaiju
The Monster AU can allow fans to focus on the fictional monster character from a Kaiju film that is featured in Big Hero 6: The Series, and shares the same name as the episode of it. As the mech is sometimes seen as a character, as well as an object. Which Fred had requested (twice), after he learned that the original Kentucky Kaiju, that he bought from the company that used it to make the films of it, is a small toy-like figure; and not a giant mech like the one he had made of it.

Tadashi Hamada
Tadashi is commonly cast between a vampire and black furred werewolf.

Pitch Black
Pitch being a wicked spirit of fear can have him as either a vampire or a demon.
