This cool post is a reblog from my fellow blogger and friend who is participating in a writing challenge. It's perfect for the Halloween holiday!
Here are my responses to the questions, if I were going to create a monster.
What Does The Monster Look Like?
My monster would have to be green. It's a throwback from that old movie “The Exorcist” where the possessed girl puked up green vomit. That scene got stuck in my brain and ever since then, that puke color green is associated with monsters. Even though it was the devil. In my mind, devil and monster are the same thing! But SHE would also be attractive or alluring. That way people would at first want to approach her.
How Big Is The Monster?
Really huge! Way bigger than an ordinary person because it would give the monster a sense of believing SHE is too big to be overcome. Like the American banks. (Sorry. Bad joke.) That way when the humans take her down, it will be a surprise! “Yeah! That's right! Take that! Bet you didn't even see us coming!!” :)
What Is Unique About The Monster?
The monster would have a combination of traits borrowed from the X-Men mutants (because I'm not very original). Not sure what combination, but it would be definitely be able to morph or shape-shift. Although because it's so big, even though it can change its shape, it still wouldn't be so easy to go run and hide.
What Does The Monster Eat?
Humans!
Monsters who eat fruits and veggies don't scare nobody!
Where Does It Sleep?
The monster would have to sleep some place that is either extremely cold or extremely hot, because that would make it more of a challenge for the humans to try to get rid of it while it's resting up for the next day of ravaging the human race.
What would the monsters be called?
My monsters would be called Cannibellas. Well because they're flesh-eating monsters that are also female, and they're not really that ugly or crude to look at. Sort of like the sirens in Greek mythology. They could lure people, especially men. But because they are so huge, most men would probably run from them!! :)
