I know this is nitpicking, but I have to disagree, almost none of the monsters they fight are American, Almost all of them come from (or are based) on creatures from other cultures myths

Vampires,Werewolves,Shtriga and Vetala are eastern Europreanm Arachne, Lamia and Siren are Greek, Djinn and Ghouls are Arabian, Changeling are Germanic (I think, I'm not so sure on that one) Crocotta and Rugaru (orginally came from France) are Centeral European, Kitsune, Okami and Shojo are Japanese, Phoenix's are orginally Egyptian/Arabian Wendigo are Canadian, Chupacabra is mexican, Banshee's is Irish, Wraiths and the Loch Ness Monster is Scottish, Rakshasa are Indian Rawhead's although are in American beliefs, the story orginally came from yorkshire, England And there are so many Dragons in myths, its difficult to tell who had them first, but the ones in the show are clearly based on European Dragons.

Every culture has some form of Shapeshifter, so I surpose that one counts as a shared monster. Khan Worm and Jefferson Starships, were made up for the show so they don't count

So Techniqually the only truthfuly American monster is the Skinwalkers. Personally I think this is a bit disopointing, though not unbelivible, I mean America is a mulity cultural nation, it stands to logic that the monsters are also, but personally I think they should include more American monsters, what about the ThunderBird, the Jenu or as some else rightly suggested, the Deer Women. Or even better, what about The Jersey Devil? I would love to see them fight that, so much so I was somewhat disopointed, when it turned out last season, it was mearly the Leviathans.
