It seems that a subtitle is warranted here; "Dog Bites Man" or maybe "Hot Dog Is A Man's Worst Friend"
Loose pattern work and Edibles with violent tempers lead to monster madness and foody revenge. He seems to be quite the spicy mean wiener!

Somewhere in the hidden recesses of the ocean depths lives a monstrously large killer squid. It looks like the brave diver will have an amazing story to tell if he can just make it out alive. What are the odds?
Thanks for the custom request Jon!

In honor of the cold that wouldn't die, I came up with scabby nurse stabby here. I think her original intentions were helpful (if not benign). But now, as I sit here sick and miserable, I'm wondering what's in the syringe and will it turn me into whatever she is? Will this hurt more than a little bit?
Thanks for the request Ruth!

Do not ignore the trembling sensation below your feet. The molemen are massing and preparing to tunnel upwards and crush us surface dwellers. They are definitely furry and mild-mannered in appearance but they have sharp claws that cut through dirt and stone and pointy shovels to boot.

Watch yourself there pal. One eyed bony-knuckled spiders don't get cornered. They choose the corner and when to pounce. Get any closer and you might find out how sharp those claws are.

Many people consider birds to be good pets and generally acceptable animals. The truth is that they are vial and dangerous especially when they form into groups of mob-like hoards with deformed human hands. Beaks may be sharp but opposable thumbs are the true threat now.

# 63

Flopping, splashing, spitting, and generally making a mess of things is how it does its thing. It'd be an awful experience to witness a battle between # 63 and any other gruesome fool...the ensuing spattery chaos would be hard to stomach (no matter who won).
