Holy cow, I think we’ve definitely created a monster!  Here’s what we’ve come up with:

Our Blog Monster is short, gay, and wears ties with his polo shirts and platform shoes.  When he shifts into monster form he has evil eyes that cut right through you,  mustard yellow and puce matted fur covered with inkblots that turn him into whatever his enemies desire, and a tail that seems to function with a mind of its own.  Probably because parasites are continuously moving underneath its skin.  This look allows him to blend in with his surroundings like a chameleon.  He wears makeup and enjoys clubbing, where he’ll pick up, well, anything.  In addition he’s obsessed with Gordon Ramsey, ballet, and opera, and cannot resist the lure of a showtune.  In fact, his secret wish is to star in the revival of Beauty and the Beast.  He has retractable claws that he’s covered with pink polish.  Spiny quills on his back compliment the claws, but are just as sharp and twice as likely to slice through his enemies.  When he’s nervous or preparing for battle, he tends to crack his knuckles.  He’s way hip to the music of his time, has a particular favorite band whose songs make him launch into dance no matter where he is, and he tends to sing right before his massacres.

As for powers, our monster can shoot laser beams from his nipples, which are powered by the energy he harnesses from any light source. He can also control his victim’s minds, but he must be touching them in order to do it.  And once he’s been inside a person’s mind (which he can only do when they’re asleep) he can track them anywhere in the world.  He also has the ability to enhance his aura when angry, so that it instills people with such a feeling of fear that they run when he comes close to them.  He has the ability to breathe a noxious gas that knocks out his enemies, and he can cause their wounds to rot instantly, at which point maggots will infest their bodies.  When threatened, Blog Monster does have the ability to teleport.  He can also cause earthly events like mudslides and avalanches.

His achilles heel is that when an enemy says “popcorn” he turns into a foul-mouthed, angry yellow butterfly for the next hour.

What a cool character!  But now you have to decide.  Do you want to see Blog Monster prancing around in the next Granny May adventure?  Or would you rather meet something entirely new and different?  I’ll count the votes through midnight Wednesday, so let me know how you feel!
