What? I know you think this stumpy old monster is just that: old and all stumped out.
It isn't true. He uses the scout's code against him...hanging out around busy intersections waiting for unsuspecting boy scouts to come along and help him across. Sadly, only one of them will get to the other side.

Matt stared deep into the monitor. Hidden messages scrolled through his mind and he was no longer himself. Matt was gone and a strange red-topped fiend was all that remained.

Scientists say that microscopic organisms are on and around us all day long wherever we go. Much like a Pilot fish riding along with a shark, these scumbly chubby buggers are lurking alongside us humans. they eat those organisms and love the free meal.

Goblin llamas are tall and mean.
Somehow all of the charm of being a llama is gone and they turn rotten...shifty too. It's just sad.

Observe closely this fine example of the miniature troll. This tiny marauder is capable of doing enormous harm to both living and inanimate objects.
be on your guard and never sleep with your mouth open. They like to crawl inside and set up camp. you'll know he's there when the bonfire gets started.

The Blueberry Titan is having one of their "dark" days. They're practically oozing irritability and meanness from every giant pore.
With only 2 hands and feet for 9 heads why wouldn't they feel a bit gypped too?
Farms and towns in the Blueberry Titan's path should be abandoned immediately.

Chubby nomads like this make their way through the toxic combustible post-apocalyptic static that surrounds their home.
It is the year 6742 and they have no idea that they were once human beings. Our progeny seem to have paid the price for our environmental sins. Strangely though, they seem to thrive in a poisonous cloud of doom and love every minute of it. Goggles are very precious.

Heather woke up in the middle of the night. She looked at the closet, rubbed her eyes, and went back to sleep. Everything felt all snuggly, safe, and sound knowing the little man in the closet was only a dream.
The little purple man in the closet sighed with relief. he'd made it one more night without being discovered for real.

The pink goat lizard is an excellent creature. It is a super fighter and also specializes in getting into tight spaces (no matter how contorted and convoluted the space is) and crushing their opponents at Yahtzee.

Gordon looked down at you in the same sorry way he always does.
It wouldn't matter if you are an enormous tentacled destroyer of cities and eater of souls. The captain of all demons looks up to no one. On top of that he is always lit with an eerie upward glow.

Three of the knobbiest old haggedy witches live in the woods. Their blind eyes curse the bright blur that is their daytime reality so they only come out at night. The witches' friendly display is a ruse so don't be lured in...they only love themselves.

Corporate business-class robot monsters are the worst. Not only are they dangerous but also cryptic and often quite shiny. Are you more impressed with this robot's golden tie or evil binary manifesto?

Vulture slugs don't really fly but they do a sort of extended flop from one slime covered spot to another. They splat into a messy landing and continue to scavenge for delightfully disgusting snackages.

When the hot summer sun rises to a mere 50 feet over the ground in August, my body is drawn to the air conditioning like a moth to flame. Having done this for too too long, the yard is reaching (what we in the biz like to call) meadow status. As I attempted to cut the grass, I found that the shaggedy greenery had taken on a mind of its own and wasn't about to sit idly by and be mowed.

Although monsters are not people, they have their own way of doing things.
A regular guy might come home from a hard day at the job and have a beer. This monster comes home after a hard night of damage and mayhem and treats himself to a fine glass of brandy. Who's to say who is better...or more dignified?

It's true that many monsters eat people.
Although that's fact, it doesn't mean that they are undiscerning boorish slobs who will eat anything and anyone. Why shouldn't monsters have standards too?
Why would a self-respecting monsters eat some bony cruddy finger tips or nasty over-squishy spoiled eyeballs?

Stand back monster lovers...it's a Ducky Dragon!
At 12 feet long, the Ducky Dragon spends its days eating some favorite foods including licorice, lions, and lasagna. Luckily they are easily repelled by anything that makes a squeaking sound so keep your squeakers handy!

You know good things are going to happen when the undead get together.
They'll smash stuff, groan and mutter unintelligibly, and eat others and themselves. That's how they do!

No it isn't just a defunct old skeleton...of mysterious origins.
This relic was actually a skillfully camouflaged peaceful herbivore. They survived by appearing to be dangerous. Sadly, their main source of food died off and they ended up eating each other into oblivion.
