The Dandelion Demons


Those are not weeds growing on your front yard, it’s us.
We are the Dandelion Demons.
If you mow us down, we’ll grow right back.
Bigger and stronger than before.
Just so you know, we like your garden and we think we’ll move in there as well!
And we’re never going to leave.

Porcupine Pete


I'm Porcupine Pete and I love geography.
Did you know that five hundred years ago people thought the planet Earth was flat as a pancake?
Today we know Earth is round, but it's not a perfect sphere either.
In fact, it's not even an ellipsoid because of its varied and irregular surface.
The shape of our planet can best be described as a "geoid".
Bet you didn't know that!

The Boxing Devil


They say the word "luck" comes from the name "Lucifer".
Therefore I hope I have a lot of luck battling my next adversary!
I am the Boxing Devil,
and I float like a vulture and sting like a vampire bat.

Mousepickpick


I am Mousepickpick of the entrancing raven hair.
Hug me! Kiss me! But be careful of my coiffure...
For you see my strands are so sharp they might stab,
the very darling ones who come to appreciate me.

Harry, the Monster Who Thought He could Fly


Please meet Harry, the optimistic monster who thought he could fly.
Everybody kept on telling him he would NEVER fly.
But, Harry believed in himself.
He tried every way he could think of.
The catapult... no good.
The giant sling-shot... not practical.
The Weight Watchers™ diet... no fun.
Then one day, he met Graveyard Boogie, a monster who would twirl him up in the air.
And you know what? That did the trick.
Now everyone calls him Harry the flying monster.
Can you hear him now?
He's yelling, "Catch me!!!"

Sproutnik


Sproutniks are large reptiles that live on the dark side of the moon.
They feed mostly on vertebrates like the hungry vermin, and sometimes on invertebrates like Stumphead.
After feeding, tiny Bluefaces will go inside their mouths to clean their teeth. The Sproutnik allows the Blueface in, and the Blueface gets a nice meal in return. This type of relationship in the monster kingdom is called "mutualism", where all involved parties benefit... except the hungry vermin and Stumphead, of course.

Procyon the galactic mercenary


I am Procyon the galactic mercenary.
I travel the milky way in my deadly flying saucer, going from gig to gig.
Need a solar system wiped out or a cosmic rebellion squelched?
I'm your evil alien.
So can you tell me which way is... "Earth" ?

Percy of the Bat People


I am Percy of the Bat People, but I have no wings.
Some spacemen nicknamed us the Bat People and it stuck.
Now everyone calls us Bat People even though we have nothing in common with them.
It's mean to call someone names.

Ratfork


My name is Ratfork because my paws are prickly.
Beware to the little children who are naughty,
I also warn the bigger kids who are shoddy,
And those who never listen to anybody,
You will soon feel my sharp needles wickedly!

Benny the Beatnik





Hi, I’m Benny the Beatnik.
I'm going to Wild Thing's barbecue this evening.
He sometimes burns the hot-dog buns, but he sure knows how to throw great parties!!
I think that Laughing Spider will be there as well, she’s really hot.
I'll make sure to put my best foot forward.

Zig-Zag Bird of Altamonte


I thought tomorrow would come swiftly, but I woke up in a sweat in the murky darkness.
The clock's chimes were still ringing from the call of midnight as I detected a disturbing stench about the room.
I peered out from under the covers, terrified of what I might discover...
And then I heard a slow, gurgling sound which curdled my blood.
And finally I saw it!
The dreaded beast was standing tall at my bedpost, the Zig-Zag Bird of Altamonte, staring in my direction!

Graveyard Boogie


I’m Graveyard Boogie the happy go-go ghoul
I rise from my grave and dance the mashed potatoes, ow! oooh!
To make you my slave, I’ll twirl you up in the air and CATCH YOU!
The sweet moon will rise, my darling, and we will disco among the tombstones.
Ouch! Woo!

Calimarx


My name is Calimarx and I'm having a little trouble with my bankers.
A fine bunch of businessmen they are.
I went down this morning to open an account and they turned me down.
I wanted to open a charge account.

Velvet


I’m Velvet the worm, Strawberry Boy’s best friend.
We hang out together a lot, behind grocery stores or cemeteries.
Ya, I’ve seen you too before.
Around March 24th if I’m not mistaken.
So what are you doing at midnight?

Picassoverine


I am Picassoverine, the cubist nightmare.
I slice, I dice, my arm is over here and over there.
I am synthetic rather than analytic but if you disagree...
Picture yourself with three belly buttons.

Blueface


I am the Blueface, I live on the moon.
A side of my face is bright depending on the angle of the sun.
I have happy dreams and I have sad dreams, but nothing in between.
If I wake up in the middle of the night and I feel lonely, I look down at you sleeping yourself.

Black Widow you’re a beauty but... don’t kiss me!

I will catch up with you sooner or later.

Hungry Ectoplasm


Something wicked is coming your way.
An orange shape that violates every law of nature.
Guided by its voracious appetite, it devours all it touches.
This is the Hungry Ectoplasm and you’d better run before it’s too late.

Bedbug from Dimension X


Hi, I am the Bedbug from Dimension X.
When you go to sleep I pinch you with one of my claws.
And then I steal your soul by sucking it out, leaving you a hollow humanoid shell.
Cool, huh?

The Creature From the Bottom of the Third Drawer on the Left


Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard about it, read about it. But have you ever been face to face with the creature from the bottom of the third drawer on the left? What strange sequence of events unleashed such a wave of fear? A lost sock hungry for revenge!! The only way out: organize those lonely socks until you can reunite them and return them safely to your drawer.

Spider Sal


My name is Spider Sal and I'm learning how to tap dance.
Tappety taptap.
Unfortunately, I have one foot bigger than the others so I need to buy three pairs of tap dancing shoes!
That's pretty expensive but I think it's worth it.

The Big Green


He wishes he was on the big screen
But that won't happen for the Big Green
It's clear that he doesn't have the talent
Of Kermit the Frog or the Green Giant.
