It's more unusual than stupid; from the sound of it, monsters are fought often in your world, so I think can see where you're coming from.
It's not entirely humans against one another where I'm from, but that's what it is for the most part. There are also beings like the chimeras - they're created by fusing two living things together into one complete form. That's a branch of alchemy that I'm not familiar with, however, so unfortunately I can't tell you much about it; creating chimeras using humans is banned as a practice under our laws, but some of the animal hybrids are useful as guards or weapons.
