Modern Mogal is a Web Comic (specifically a manhua, as the author is from Taiwan) by DeviantArt user shepherd0821 (translated and edited by TNBi, draco-runan, and kittizak) about Cute Monster Girls (and women, and men) who live in the modern world (mogal = monster gal). The series is mostly made of single pages telling standalone Slice of Life stories, but a couple of characters have gotten arcs extending over several pages. Updates come out every week or two.

Tropes used in Modern Mogal include:

Bland-Name Product: "W-Burger"'s logo is a pair of inverted golden arches, and their flagship product is the "Huge Mac".
Fur Against Fang: Werewolf Mom and Vampire Dad recognize each other's species on sight and are not happy to meet. They don't break out into violence, but are both later seen purchasing products to get an edge over the other.
Our Werewolves Are Different: Werewolf Mom transforms on the night of the full moon, but it seems her transformation is at least partly psychosomatic, as she is able look at a light bulb and think of it as a full moon to force a transformation when there's just a crescent moon out.
No Name Given: Most of the pages have little or no dialogue, so only a couple of characters are named directly. This results in Fan Nicknames like "Werewolf Mom" and "Vampire Dad".
Running Gag: The centaur's traffic barrier.
Shout Out:
- In "How to be a death", the Grim Reapers are trained by a Drill Sergeant Nasty skeleton who is clearly a reference to R. Lee Ermey. (In fact, since it was published a few months after Ermey's death, it might have been the man himself.)
- Maria the gynoid is named after the famous character from Metropolis, and bears 'finger-guns' similar to Aigis from Persona 3.
The Unmasqued World: Non-humans live openly in society. Characters include a centaur who is serving in the military and a gynoid married to a police officer.
- The Masquerade: Nevertheless, Werewolf Mom hides her nature from her daughter.
