Creaturebox Monster Volume Pdf 2



Many monsters can fall into more than one category, such as Kevin (psychopath/common phobia), The Doctors (common phobias/undead humans) and Reavers (undead humans/psychopaths). While most monsters correspond to certain tropes, some are more specific, if not original, like Jack O'Lantern, Sugarplum Fairy, and Dragonbat.


To fulfill multiple horror conventions, each of the monster's appearances differ between them. It is clear that every monster is kept in thousands of identical transparent cube prisons roughly the size of a standard elevator, so the monsters (each) would be small enough to fit inside them, despite some of them appearing too large for the volume of a cube (like the Kraken, Giant, and the Angry Molesting Tree).

While temperaments may differ, they all have a single, solitary goal in mind: kill every human being they see. They lack an actual will of their own, completely ignoring their situation, the surroundings and each other (unless they are monsters that operate in groups like The Dolls, The Scarecrow Folk, and Mutants), and are focused solely on their dark task. Despite their inherent violent and evil nature, they are never seen in conflict with each other, as seen when the Dragon Bat ignores a helpless human in front of it, because another monster was already advancing on him.


Their methods of killing range from suffocation, stabbing, burning, tearing, beating to death, slow torture and biting. While the book describes what they do as simply feeding themselves, they may not need food for sustenance, as they are never seen being fed or otherwise provided for in their cubes, and those who eat simply eat for the sake of eating (like the Giant Snake and the Zombies). Their mortality and vulnerability to injury varies, as the Clown was shot three times in the chest to no visible effect while Marty was able to kill a Mutant in Hospital Gown with a single headshot. As all of the monsters were effectively contained and could be captured by Facility staff (the job of the Wranglers), it can be inferred that even the immortal monsters could be somehow disabled, either through conventional means or through some contrivance that draws from their fictional nature.


The origin of the monsters is never fully explained in the film, although it is suggested that they predated human existence. When Truman remarks that they are "something from a nightmare", Lin responds "No, they're something that nightmares are from. Everything in our stable is a remnant of the old world . . . courtesy of you know who." As the mere existence of some of the Monsters violates the laws of biology and physics, and since none of them seem to have the usual physical requirements of organisms (completely isolated indefinitely in their small cubes), it would be logical to assume that they are all creations of the Old Ones and are sustained by the power of those dark gods, even the monsters that have real-world analogues and which manifest no supernatural properties.


Many fans theorize that the monsters are actually the pets of the Ancient Ones, and are waiting to be set free to re-unite with their owners. They also believe that some of the monsters ultimately helped in getting Dana and Marty into the Facility for the express purpose of being released from their cells during The Purge. Though it is possible some (or all) of the surviving monsters were killed when one of the released Ancient Ones destroyed the Facility, it is equivalently speculated a majority of the monsters may have survived given their supernatural, magical or undead nature, likely aiding the Ancient Ones in bringing about the destruction and/or suppression of mortals or the end of existence itself.


I decided to make the box walls out of a picture frame setup. I wanted to create a frame for each side of my box to attach my cut pallet pieces. I purchased 8' sections of 1x2 inch cedar from Home Depot. The 1x2's and the plywood bottom were the only wood I purchased for this. The rest is recycled. The amount of wood needed depends on how large you make your box. I wanted my box to be big enough that you could believe there was a monster large enough inside to hurt you but not so big that it took up a lot of storage space while not in use.
