It is the near future and Golden Smashbot is all that remains of a once great society of killer robots from outer space. Now that he is all that is left, no one can stand in the way of his metallic smashy glory!

Faced with the daunting task of destroying an entire city by himself, Leon lost his nerve...and his lunch. He spewed the contents of several destroyed towns and villages and in one terrible instant the city was washed in a hideous wave of terror and filth!

It's a cool cloudy night just after a wild spring rainstorm complete with hail and plenty of giant raindrops. Something goes bump and startles your dreamy sleep. Go back to bed...it's only someone getting a snack.

Don't worry...he's more scared of you than you are of him.
That's why when you came into the room he was startled and smashed you to bits.

Two little Swiss girls make their way into the town hall cellar at Zug. Little do they know that they've left the troll toll unpaid and are about to get the penalty slammed down on their heads!

Bird Bear started life in an office complex as a public art sculpture made of bronze and polished stone. After so many months of people just walking by and ignoring him, he sprung to life chomping hats, briefcases, and blackberries. Watch your back next time you walk idly by a statue.

When it's trash night and you don't want to go outside for fear of being destroyed, it's really just this guy. Dark Captain Of The Shadows. Part of you wants to believe that these things are childish daydreams, but the part of you that wants to hide in a closet is definitely right...but maybe not so safe in there with the outerwear.

It may seem stupid but all this thing does is sit there. Mouth gaping wide, drool swaying in the breeze, and all sorts of stink floating about. Once in a while it gets lucky and something (or someone) walks right on in. That's when the mouth SLAMS shut and the victim is gummed to death.

Through some sort of unfortunate circumstances us ground dwellers are now faced with an awful new challenge that puts birds, sap, and vandals to shame. Flying gorilla/butterfly crossbreeds are causing inordinate amounts of damage and panic in the streets.

Humans are normally monster prey but here one of us has gone another way and smashed up some squiggly squiddy guys and become the real monster. Such violence!

This specimen was found on a recent archaeological dig somewhere in the Mojave region. However unlikely, carbon dating places these bones at about 100 million years older than the earliest dinosaur remains known to man. Who were they...and what happened?

When the moon rises full in the sky and a chill lays down on the land only one predator hunts donkey with impunity. It's the giant hairy feather-rimmed owl. The large chimp-like digits are especially effective with their long talons and thumbs.

I've used the same ink bottle to create nearly every single monster chronicled here in this blog. When I walked into the studio tonight I found that the ink had taken on a hideous and evil form of its own. As I backed out of the studio I kept my eyes on the rallying ink monsters and focused my sights on survival.

During a routine research mission to study deep water trench whales, the yellow submarine spotted something wondrous and unheard of. It's a shame that no one else will ever know of the school of giant jelly fish spotted that day.

Some creatures in this world are so well adapted that they can camouflage themselves into any environment. But the eyes are always true. Why else do you think you search the inky darkness for 2 tiny reflections?

The Venus Flylizard is an interesting contraption. He hides in plain sight posing as a plant. Pheromones near the mouth attract flies but that isn't really the goal. It's when frogs and other small animals that hunt flies close in for the kill that they come to know the truth about this lizard that looks like a strange plant.

Fuzzy little demons pop out of the ground during blizzards when the snow is at its heaviest. There in the white noise blur is where they'll pick your bones clean. Take care of your icy driveway but watch out for the tiny red eyes. They may be the only warning you'll get.

Vicious dragon beetles crawl out of the dying embers of your unattended fireplace. They creep across the floor leaving strange trails of char marks before fizzling out in a puff of smoke. Only the lucky ones will find combustible bliss amidst your furniture and collectibles.
