The usage of the word "bakemono" may have been a mispronunciation of "bakamono" which is a typical insult in the Japanese language that translates to "stupid," "idiot," or "fool."

Bakemono may still be appropriate though as it is a derivative of "o-bake" which is a general term for an apparition or creature in Japanese mythology--it may refer to Scott's status as a werewolf. However, considering it is less of an insult than "bakamono" and with the context of Stiles' inflection and delivery of the word, I think it's more likely that the term meant was "bakamono."
