   Monte Python?  Meep!

Bad Alias:
A White Court Vampire that feeds on "positive" emotions probably wouldn't be much of a monster. Now I could imagine a monstrous type of phage that does with the result being the victim is drained of either the positive emotion or even the capacity for that emotion.

Technically how the Raiths feed, makes their victims die happy, doesn't it?
Sounds weird, but I can totally imagine a predator living of happy emotions expressed by laughter. The "evil" thing would be, that they could make people laugh themselves to the death, if they don't stop in time.

Avernite:
Butters' short story kinda reminds us you are what you eat.

The Raiths feed on lust, which allows them to remain fairly monstrous (though Thomas shows they don't have to be).
But if someone fed on true happiness, he wouldn't be much of a monster anymore.

I think that would depend on your definition of happy. I think pleasure and happiness are two different things. I could see a monster that causes someone to die laughing, but if I was to write a monster like that, it wouldn't be good natured humor.
