Rhetorical Rhesus

Rhetorical-Rhesus
Rhetorical Rhesus is a young monster that keeps trying to have the last word in any conversation.
He keeps answering anything you say to him with, "Yes, but!"
It's time to eat your supper.
"Yes, but..."
Please do your homework.
"Yes, but..."
Stop talking back or your punishment is going to be dire!
"Yes, but..."

Bellower

Bellower
Bellower is a young monster that keeps yelling for his mom from the other side of the house.
"Mom! I'm hungry! I want a sandwich!"

Maybe one day he will growe out of it.
Or develop a really good tenor singing voice.

Demon


This demon appears inside your bathroom mirror when you least expect it.
It stares into your eyes, snarling and hissing.
Its hands reach out of the mirror.
You hardly have time to feels its claws caress your cheeks...
Before it grabs you and pulls you in!

Hammerhead the Second is the rightful heir of King Hammerhead the First, of the kingdom of Blurtt on the planet Soovlaki.
Many Soovlakians believe that their form of government is not a meritocracy.
Unfortunately Soovlakians have brains the size of peanuts and cannot concentrate for more than four or five seconds straight during the course of a day.
So they go with the flow.

King Hammerhead the First

hammerhead-1-bob-otis
King Hammerhead the First was accidentally killed by being hit over the head by a falling spiked club forgotten by his son, the ambitious Hammerhead the Second.
The King's ghost emerged from his body and looked around.
It saw what seemed to be a tunnel with a bright light at the end of it.
The ghost decided to go towards the light.
But just before leaving, the ghost looked back and wondered for a moment how that silly spiked club had managed to get there

The funny little white robot emerging from the spacetime warp tunnel

The-funny-little-white-robo
I was alone in an open wheat field somewhere in Alberta when suddenly, the air shimmered with a violet hue.
A sparkling sort of warp tunnel opened in front of my eyes and a funny little white robot emerged from the opening.
I had never seen anything like it before and I suppose I never will again, for my civilization in unable to produce such wondrous machines.
Then, to my great surprise, it spoke to me.

The Master of His Galactic Domain

Master-of-the-Galactic-Doma
The Master of His Galactic Domain surveys his subjects with his cold, square-shaped eye.
How to wean them off those silly TV sitcoms that are weakly transmitted through space from a distant blue planet, he wonders?
Perhaps he could destroy Earth from whence the shows are broadcasted?
Or perhaps he could simply start charging a fee to watch them?

Unknown

Unknown
We don't know the name of this monster, or where he's from.
We don't know what he likes to eat or what's on his mind.
We don't speak his language, but we think it might be Romanian.
We don't know which way he's headed, or even if he had a nice time here.
That's why we called him "Unknown".
