Why would the monsters present THEMSELVES as terrifying? Are they TRYING to justify their own imprisonment? Remember, this was NOT from the humans! If anything, they'd present themselves as merely power, not a terrifying beast who looks evil.

Why is it a HORRIBLE beast with unfathomable power? Why not just a monster with unfathomable power? The humans may have associated "monster" with terrible and horrifying, but the monsters themselves?

And.. These mythological creatures we don't even know exist. They're only seen in myths, not serious scientific studies, such as the monsters' hypothesis on why the war started. Just like scientists today don't actually consider dragons to be real.

Speaking of which, why is that beast "horrible" anyway? Is it because they stole a human's soul?

Speculating on what could happen when two souls combine would lead to something similar. Monster souls are weak on their own, why would the two combining to a beast able to destroy an entire village single-handedly? How would we have evidence that soul absoption is even a THING? And vague prophecies are just that-vague. The angel was Asriel Dreemur, yet he wasn't represented as a flying triangle like with the other monsters. We'd have no idea what was going on, just like the Delta Rune before Asriel broke the barrier.
