Awful bird beasts roam free on forgotten islands in the Pacific.
Be careful while out and about. This is real.

The giant Saguaro multi-armed caterpillar loves business people...
for breakfast, and lunch. None for dinner though. He keeps bankers' hours and is very professional.

Oh what a shame!
The big brain's all sad and mad in his footy jammies. Let's see what we can do to turn that toothy scowl into a smile.

Had the dinosaurs evolved into something related to our modern day chickens they might have ended up looking like this. They would also be smart, powerful, huge, and highly evolved. Sadly, they would also be shy and hide in shame because they never invented clothing.

This small creature is halfway between a crab and a slug: not too bright and plenty squishy. Where there is one, there are many and this is where the real danger comes from.

Once in a while an ugly ill-shaped knob goblin pokes its knobbly gob gobbily head out from under a dank dark place. And then it's gone....just like that.

Skeleton man is an argumentative, stubborn, and rammy jerk. He's always butting his jaggedy blue rock head into things and people around him. he's just never pleasant to be around.

Turquoise beasts stomp about in the night. Any living creature that fits into his mouth is fair game. You don't want to be that creature.

He's just got a piece of bone stuck in his teeth and it makes him cranky and sad.

Having a third nostril gives this one-eyed pigman an edge over the competition. He can breath easier and the extra oxygen makes him that much faster and more frenzied while chasing down dinner.

There is a monster for everyone. Even fat little black ninja cats that pounce from the inky shadows as you walk by unknowingly...feet unprotected.

In a cruel twist of fate, the mad scientist was attacked and turned into all of the animals that he had hurt and tortured in his lab. Now he bounds around jumping from place to place insane as anyone can be...unsure which parts were once his own.

Although this monster has the multifaceted eyes of an insect, he doesn't really see that well. That's why he relies on the sense of taste. That large tongue is used to tell who he's talking to and if they should be made into lunch.

Icky Frogman spends all of his time camouflaging and hiding out in plain sight. He watches what you do and eats flies: all--day--long.

There are those in life that seem to always know where they're going, how to get there, and why they do what they do. This confused and mixed up looking fellow isn't exactly like that. He hardly knows which way to go, how many feet to put in which direction, and has no idea as to why he might want to get there. He will definitely take his time eating organized people along the way.

Beware the fuzzy demon bird of white winter. This beast prowls snowy areas in a thick feathery parka; befouled with the smells of its victims' remains. Be on the lookout for a hideous sonic scream and run for your life.

Many vacationers this year were unaware of recent sightings of a giant leaping octopus seen on the coasts of Australia, Hawaii, and Long Beach Island. Thanks in part to a multitude of warnings from rogue salty-dog boat captains, inland trips are skyrocketing.

Some monsters are more creature than human. Maybe it's true that full potential can only be reached when the people-part is swallowed up by the inner creature. Then we might begin to understand what a monster is capable of: what to look for and what to look out for.

One day a little imp came crawling out of his hidey hole in the woods. He did a quirky little hippity hop and scuttled off. He was definitely headed for town but his mischievous plans weren't revealed. No good can come of this so be on the lookout for anything weird...anything at all.

When Leon woke up on April Fool's Day he looked down, saw the state of his body, and was sure that someone had played a trick on him. After it became clear that no amount of soap and intense scrubbing would correct things Leon admitted that his life was about to change.
