Marvin launched into a spaz attack as soon as the children spotted him lurking in the shadows. How could he have been so careless?
Adrenaline pumped through his veins amidst his fit and he began to turn invisible. Now he might be able to pull it together and make his escape.

Birdman spiraled into a deep depression. Today was the day that he found out his reflection wasn't his girlfriend. At least her mysterious "Simon Says" game finally made sense.

Rumplehuffskin is the saddest horseman that ever did get sad.
All he wants is to be more like people and drink a bottle of soda. Ironically, without human thumbs, Rumplehuffskin's hooves are unable to open the cap on the bottle.

Like a purple cloud or bloated holiday parade balloon, Gene floated over the doomed city below. No one on the ground could have predicted this while they ate their Wheaties this morning. Gene didn't even know he'd be here now but that's the fun of letting the wind take you to your next meal!

Don't look so shocked and sad Sal.
Somehow our flat-headed friend Sal has made it to 762 years of age without seeing his own reflection. That changed today...he didn't even know that his pants had fallen off.

The moon holds no sway over Archibald. This were-boy will spend his nights stealing candy from babies and smearing his dirty hands on the clean clean walls.
It's all a bit mean.

The clowny slug king laughs, chuckles, and chortles over the sad misfortune of the rest of the world. he is surely ruler of all and no one can stand against him. All will suffer before him.
Sadly, the slug king is unaware that he is one half inch tall and powerless against salt.

Captain Margarine was always the paranoid type. Lately he's gone too far and lives in constant fear that his butt is trying to get him.

Slamjammer Squidhands careens around showing off his top notch skills. He excels at slamming things, jamming things, and doing it with tentacled fists of fury. Legend has it that only the sword of a monkey can harm him.

Morlack hates a bad punchline. Weak stories and ill-timed jokes are a pet peeve. Once he gets mad there's no way to stop the awful stare and overbearing glare in his beady little eyes. Make sure you watch what you say when Morlack is around.

Maxine felt at home with the snakes. She let them roll and hang all over her and it was good. Soon Maxine left the world of people behind her and only spent time amidst the serpents. It wasn't long until she literally became one with them and they grew together as one slithering creature.
Maxine smiles all the time now.

Don't let the poofy tale fool you. El Cuernos does not mess around. Just because one end is soft doesn't mean that the other one won't gore a person 4 horns at a time. Don't worry though, he usually sticks to antiques.

Be very quiet. The Cave Krunk's ears are very sensitive. Although he probably can't see us from this distance, if he hears us we'll probably get mauled. The Cave Krunk is known for savage attacks using the gorilla-like clawed arms or repeated pouncing with his dexterous talony feet. His only known weakness is Nutella.

Flattened monsters like living fossils have hard yet flexible exoskeletons and are burrowing at great speeds up under your feet as you read this blog.
What was that? A little tremble? Perhaps the wind or a stray squirrel climbing up the outside of your house? Nope, it's something not nice and it's coming just for you.

The human body is a wonderland of fun and festivities to a germ bug. Here we have a specimen carefully removed from the system for study. His nervousness is apparent from the large amounts of foam expelled.
If left on their own, each bug would attack the body from the inside out. Let's get them out of there!

The Ostrictor is a hairless cousin of the standard ostrich. With a long snake-like neck and very strong legs, this creature is capable of great feats including jumping over huge obstacles and crushing enemies like a constrictor. Although quite capable of defending itself, Ostrictors are shy and tend to stray away from conflict.

A sad and morbidly colorless beast grew to enormous proportions by eating the color out of this world. It started with bits of hues here and there, grew to whole sections of the color wheel gone in a flash, and moved on to entire rainbows in a slurp. Now things have come to a crashing halt as too much color got inhaled way too fast and a hideous prism of color is flowing back into the world in one fluid motion.

Protect your noses!
The rarely seen but sometimes smelled Himalayan Stink Fox is one maliciously stinky little critter. He slinks along the edge of dumps, marshes, and cheap buffets where existing odors mask his presence. be careful not to get caught in his repulsive blast!

Let this be a lesson to you...after letting his guard down, an industrious Grabber stabbed and paralyzed this poor person with his stinger. Now the last thing he'll see out of that tasty delicious eyeball is teeth spreading wide and grabbing away. I know I'll continue to wear my protective goggles when I go to bed at night (for just such an occasion).

As I heard it, a carny and an evil ringmaster got into a scrap one day (back in the old days when circus and carny folk had true honor). They fought and struggled for a very long time. In the end the ringmaster called in the clowns and won. With his last breath, the carny cursed the ringmaster...he would walk the earth as all the pieces of a circus for the rest of his unnatural days.

Sadly, a speech impediment got in the way again. All Reggie wanted to say was "nice to meet you." It was only after party-goers began to scream and run for the exits that he realized how it must have sounded: "I can't wait to eat you." this kind of thing happens to Reggie from time to time.

Scuttlebuster climbs the wall.
That's what he does. That's what he's good at.
He climbs the wall and jumps on things from high up in the air. And then he crushes them!

Looky here at Dweezle: the bug that you irradiated this summer with a super econo can of all purpose bug spray. Sure a little poison is good so a whole can must be that much better. Not true. Now Dweezle is as big as the neighbor's dog and will probably be headed that way for lunch.

The little girl and the giant loved to stay in the room for as long as they could. She delighted in blasting him with imaginary rays of magic. He enjoyed watching her play...wiggling his long toes and tail the entire time.
