What is your monster's name?

Monsters lurking in the night, will try to give you a fright.
They glare deeply at you, with piercing eyes they woo.
Their sharp toothed grins spread far, and their bodies can stretch much bigger than you are.
With a touch of their hand you feel clammy and cold, even when you move away they keep their hold.
They laugh their hot breath by your ear, whisper ugly lies to you and sneer.
Once they have a grip on you there is no getting away, they take root in your soul adamant to stay.
People who are afflicted with them can see your monsters too, they notice them in your shadows mocking you.
Each monster you've gained has it's own name, and when people are angry with you it's their names they blame.
I have at least one who clings to my back, this monsters name is Lust, and she has an awfully nice rack.
