★★★☆☆

Jukugo

妖怪(ようかい)

a traditional Japanese monster from folk tales. They have physical forms, but don't necessairly attack people. More like the European "fairy" than "monster.

怪獣(かいじゅう)

Godzilla monster ★☆☆☆☆
怪 (suspicious) + 獣 (beast) = 怪獣 (Godzilla monster)

one of them 400-footer godzilla monsters with the zipper on the back.

怪我(けが)

scar ★☆☆☆☆ FP KANA
怪 (suspicious) + 我 (we) = 怪我 (scar)

injury. I am GUESSING that the difference between 怪我 and its synonym 傷 (kizu), is that kega emphasizes the severity while 傷emphasizes the appearance- spots, cuts, scabs, etc.

Also, another difference is that nobody uses 怪我 with kanji, and hardly anyone even uses the hiragana, thus making the whole fucking point moot.
