Microsieshin
A microwave which has gained sentience as a tsukumogami. He lies in wait in ordinary household kitchens, waiting for the unwary to attempt to heat up something.

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.

Sintendo Game Thing
An old monochrome hand held game system which was possessed by evil spirits and transformed into a Tsukumogami. 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
