Toons from Toontown (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)?

It's either that or Zombie Kenders. I can't make heads or tails out of it.

the only templates I can immediately think of that involve alcoholism and impulsive carousing (Futurama robots, drunken master Shaolin monks) don't match other features Killjoy, Regeneration...

Not toons. And definitely not zombie kenders. Kenders dont have gluttony or alcoholism, and rather have on the edge, impulsiveness, curiosity, and kleptomania. But it is really good idea, and it is actually pretty close to the answer.

Well, the alcoholism is not really essential (maybe imperative? i dont know the exact word), it is more of an adittion to the gluttony and carousing.
Another hint:frightens animals, fanaticism(maybe instead of obsession), dependency (killing people, weekly), and maybe dominance.

The bolded traits appear to be incompatible, especially considering that Doesn't Eat/Drink is on the template.

Thats the point. They dont need to eat, but they really want to eat, and they dont enjoy it.
The media is classic fantasy setting.

That isn't a medium, and "classic" is one of those words that doesn't really mean much...

If you mean literally classic, though, is it the harpies?
