Cattiflower



Cattiflowers are large, caterpillar like creatures with a decorative crest that resembles flowers in bloom. Much like the
Calumnios Corollarium they lie in wait for the unsuspecting victim to come sniffing.

Skluppy



Small, cute little demonic puppies, always there to nuzzle up next to you - in hell. Despite their bizarre appearance they're quite harmless. Skluppies act like living garbage disposals, scavenging around the deeper cesspits and waste dumps. They are often kept as pets by other demons.

Sintendo Game Thing


An old monochrome hand held game system which was possessed by evil spirits and transformed into a . As early 90's technology he eats batteries like candy and suffers from a horrible case of screen blur. He's very jealous of your PSP.

If you're nice to him, he might let you win.

Quetzalcoatl



Quetzalcoatl was worshiped in one form or another by many different Mesoamerican cultures. He is usually associated with teaching and wisdom, water, and the morning star. Quetzalcoatl has a (perhaps biased) depiction in the Codex Telleriano-Remensis as a monstrous serpent, devouring a man, but is often shown in human form as well from various pre-Columbian sources. Depictions of the God as feathered serpent (or amphithere) go back to the Olmec culture (1150 - 500 B.C.) and before.

Claw Head


Bizarre, degenerate mutants formed in the primordial radioactive soup of the Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown. Claw Heads roam the shallows and sewers, looking for shellfish or the unwary surfer.

Another sketch from my aborted first person shooter project.

Tongue Walker


Tongue Walker likes to have lots of fun,
He's just like the Gulper, but with a very big tongue,
If you see him run, do not sit tight,
Because like his pal he'll eat everything in sight!

Donut Killer


Chocolate or glazed, with strawberry frosting. The donuts are mad, and they're not going to take it any more.

Bottom Crawler




Mutated, degenerate, cave dwelling humanoids descended from the remnants of long forgotten neolithic tribes who were trapped in underground caves during the last ice age. The large bloodshot eyes are specifically adapted to seeing in low light, and also allow the creature to peer into the infrared. As the lower legs atrophied and disappeared the arms became used for locomotion. Under the chin the long facial feelers are used mostly to consume food, which consists of small rodents, mosses, lichens, lizards, and fish from underground rivers.

Blender Crab




The Blender Crab is another Tsukumogami, or animated ordinary manufactured object. Modern day objects are not supposed to be able to undergo the transformation into tsukumogami as electricity repels spirits. However, by it's 100th birthday I doubt anyone would be using the same blender.

Manosaur

A strange hybrid of dinosaur and human, the result of science gone wrong. Luckily Manosaurs are small and slow moving, forced to hop with their single hand or crawl along with the fingers.

Chinese River Dragon




Dragons in China are not the lumbering, hoarding, agents of evil that their western counterparts are. Instead they are embodiments of divine power. Chinese dragons are intermediaries between heaven and earth, and rule over the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west.) Throughout history they have been represented in many different forms in Chinese traditional art, however the archetype that eventually emerged is that of a long, undulating, coiled serpentine form with beard and whiskers, brightly colored, carp-like scales, horns like a stag or antelope, and sometimes highly stylized wings (which also resemble the horns.) Traditional depictions have dragons with four digits, while the red Imperial dragon has five.

Vendathon



A simple vending machine possessed by an unfathomable multidimensional demonic entity, Vendathon bides his time dispensing snacks and refreshments until the stars are right, upon which he will rise up and destroy mankind. He doesn't like it when you try to rip him off.

Ocular Chaingun



Mutated, mindless prision guards with a large chaingun in place of an eye. Such creatures are incapable of following anything but the most simple of orders. Lack of ears means they're also deaf, so all communication must be done through hand signals. Much better just to starve them then let them run wild when needed.

This one was a sketch for a FPS that I had an idea for a few years ago, about a prision break on an alien planet. Maybe one day I'll pick it up again.

Tri-Eyes



Tri-Eyes is a very strange being.
Tri-Eyes has too much of everything.
One too many eyes, and way too many feet.
And three different hearts, so he'll never miss a beat.

Calumnios Corollarium



This creature hides underground, with only it's "flower" showing to attract prey. When the curious come sniffing around they find a sharp, toothy response.

Phone Crawler



Mom, it's for you...

This is another Tsukumogami, which is an ordinary manufactured object that has reached it's 100th birthday and has come to life. Thus 100 years from now there will be armies of these creepy little cell phone critters everywhere, taking over the Earth. We must destroy them before it's too late.

Griffin



Griffins are chimeriac monsters of ancient legend, composed of the body of a lion with the head and wings of an eagle. As such they were thought to embody the most powerful traits of both. Griffins are strictly monogamous, so much so that if the mate dies they will not find another.

Monkey Head Crab



Monkey Head Crab has no feet
Monkey Head Crab has bad teeth
Monkey Head Crab has no shoes
Monkey Head Crab sings the blues
Monkey Head Crab has no brain
Monkey Head Crab is totally insane

Fear the Monkey Head Crab.

Calavulist



Oversized animated disembodied heads with multiple pairs of spiny, crab-like legs. The Calavulist is a being created via alchemy (similar to a homonoculus,) and thus does not posses a true soul, but is instead animated with a portion of it's creator's life force.

And it is ugly. Look how ugly it is.

Libellus Maleficus



A book possessed by evil spirits, or has used some other means to come to life. During the middle ages it was common practice to bind books in the skins of executed murderers, in particular alchemical grimories. In popular culture the most famous example of this would be the Necronomicon of Evil Dead fame.

Gulper



A Gulper cares not if you're in the mood,
because to him you're nothing but food,
Two stubby legs, and two big feet,
with one big eye, to see what to eat,
They'll eat grass, rocks, and trees,
They'll eat dogs, cats, and bees,
And if you haven't already gotten the clue,
This also means they will eat you!

Burger Lord



Yeah you know this burger is well done and I wanted medium rare and these onions OH GOD! AAARRRGH! HELP ME!

"Would you like fries with that?"


I have been informed there is a Yu-Gi-Oh monster which is exactly the same thing. This I attribute to the Yu-Gi-Oh people breaking into my apartment and hooking my brain up to a mind scanner type deal, extracting my brainwaves and downloading them into thier Hal 90000 and extrapolating every idea I would ever come up with in advance, just to mess me up.

Damn Yu-gi-oh.

Toastersaurus



The Toastersaurus is coming to kill you... with toast.

This monster is a Tsukumogami, which is according to Japanese folklore is an ordinary household object that has reached it's 100th birthday and thus has come alive.

Thus take care of your stuff, 'cause one day it might eat you.

Worm Flyer




Cycloptic parasitic flying worm like creatures that live in deep subterranean caverns. The huge eye is adapted to seeing in near darkness.

Tube Walker



Tube Walkers are land dwelling decedents of the deep sea worms which gather around hydrothermal vents. They have the ability to mimic characteristics of other animals which they consume.

They're pretty good with some lemon and tartar sauce.
