Aranarchix

The Aranarchix is a large, scaled beast mutated from a breed of ground dwelling insect. The creatures are capable of consuming prey twice it's size. Powerful leg muscles allow the Aranarchix to leap dozens of feet into the air. True to their insect evolution they will often live in colonies, which have been known to migrate according to weather patterns and attack human settlements. Programs to exterminate the Aranarchix have so far been unsuccessful, as their breeding rates keep populations high.

The Thing Under the Bed

As a child, I was never really afraid of monsters under the bed.

I was more afraid of aliens.

Freak in the Box

Not your classic children's toy.

The Countess of Blood

Ezliabeth Bathory was a Hungarian Countess, who is alleged to have tortured and killed over six hundred victims, the majority of which were young peasant girls. Legends arose of vampiric behavior, such as her drinking and bathing in the blood of young virgins to retain her youth.

By 1610 when Bathory began to prey upon the daughters of lesser nobility public outcry became so great that she was finally apprehended. Her four servants were brutally tortured, imprisoned, and executed (including having their fingers ripped off, beheaded, then burned at the stake.) As a member of the nobility Elizabeth herself escaped execution, but spent the last four years of her life walled up in a set of rooms, with no human contact, until she finally died. Local legend maintains she arose as a vampire after her death.

Skiziquitz

Skiziquitz are sentient worm-like creatures which live in large hollowed-out underground complexes. They are quite intelligent, and have developed an advanced society with a very complicated caste system. As they share their planet with several other aggressive sentient species, the Skiziquitz prefer to remain isolated when possible. The word "Skiziquitz" in their language means "The long ones."

Glbloort

The Glbloort are a race of curious explorers, charged to explore the universe and catalog the various stars, stellar phenomena, planets, and the creatures upon them. They have a very advanced culture with high art and technology. Glblorrts tend to remain neutral during any type of interstellar conflict, but have been known to take sides to preserve rare species.

Krampus

Krampus is a sort of anti-Saint Nicholas, who instead of rewarding good children with gifts and sweets, punishes the naughty children on Christmas. He is traditionally depicted as an evil, horned demonic figure, manacled with rusty chains and carrying a switch made from dried twigs to administer beatings. In many alpine countries young men dress up as Krampus to scare little children.

Quazzaim

The Quazzaim are a race of highly intelligent creatures with very advanced psonic abilities. They come from a planet with very low gravity, and float via a means of a form of telekinesis. The mental demands this power places upon them increases with stronger gravity, thus they are often seen off planet wearing a type of gravity harness. The Quazzaim are pacifist scientists and philosophers for the most part, and tend to mind their own business.

Brain Lords

Brain Lords are humans who have used to genetic engineering over generations to yield larger and larger brain sizes. The result of their hideously large gray matter is a super genius level intellect along with the acquisition of several different psychic powers, such as telekinesis, psychokinesis, telepathy, precognition, and so on. Brain Lords often become megalomaniacal in their thirst for power.

Fiklabb

The Fiklabb is a strange mutant hybrid between a type of ancient shark and giant Alaskan king crab. The creatures are a result of mutations from illegal toxic waste dumping off the coast of Alaska by private energy companies in collusion with a corrupt governor looking to develop Alaska's protected coastal wildlife areas. Fiklabbs are now blamed for dozens of deaths per year, as the huge claws seem perfectly adapted at plucking the stray fisherman or passenger off of passing watercraft.
