I know that you don't like the Hobbit film, and hate what they did with Smaug, but I had a question. Overall, did you like the dragon design in general, ignoring the fact that it wasn't Smaug?
It was a very beautifully rendered design, and I liked its monitor lizard-y face. I do wish we could get some dragons that don’t have the wyvern body design in film, though.
Well, modern films I mean.

So, I was doing a little monster digging for Halloween shenanigans, and found something that's up your alley. It was a blurb for a story called "The Damned Thing" by Ambrose Bierce. Essentially, it's something that can't be seen other than "air inside of air", and it kills people. It seems like a Cosmic Horror, but the kicker was that it was written in 1893, a good 30 or so years before Lovecraft. Have you heard of it?
I haven’t heard of it, though I have heard of (and I think read some other stories by) Ambrose Bierce.
As much as Lovecraft gets credit for creating Cosmic Horror, I think there are at least a few stories that predate him in making that genre. The one I’d cite is “The Great God Pan” by Arthur Machen, which feels really out of place next to its Gothic contemporaries. If it isn’t Cosmic Horror, then at the very least it paved the way for Cosmic Horror to exist.
For your contest, does it require an illustration, or can it be a write up submission?
I need an illustration. Other wise I can’t make a big compilation post!

That’s not very nice...
I saw your reviews on the JW Toys, which I agree with you on. I'm curious to know your opinion on the grab bag toys and tubes. I can say with some confirmation on my end that they're better, but I'm curious about yours.
I haven’t gotten my hands on those yet. Toys are often slow to come to my neck of the woods.

Dagger sharp spines slashed through the waters near the M.U.T.O's location, the only precursor as to what was coming. As it stood up, water cascaded down the warped grey scales while white eyes scanned the nearby area.
The M.U.T.O. turned, glancing over its shoulder with deep crimson eyes and a tinge of brimstone on the trailing edges as it tensed its wings. Dropping a centrifuge from its smaller hands, the winged creature chirruped with an impatient subtext, rousing a feasting Female, looking up from the ruins of the nuclear plant and taking up a defensive stance immediately.
The Male turned his head back over his shoulder, then let his wings spread with alarm as he propelled himself further inland in shock. Terror had come ashore again.
How do you suppose that this animal survived Not Yet Doctor Lerna? It's been about 65 million years and all since the last one.
"I mean, didn’t you and the other egghead tell me these things were supposed to be ‘ek-stink’?" Officer Coppola had been derisive of Lerna and Dr. Bradbury’s chosen vocations since the minute they came into town, and apparently their encounter with a living fossil hadn’t changed his opinion.
"I don’t know," Lerna admitted with a sigh. "I’d be baffled by all this if I wasn’t terrified."
Dr. Bradbury was less perturbed, and Lerna could tell his keen mind was already formulating a hypothesis. “Extinction is historically hard to prove,” the old man mused. “The coelacanth was believed to be extinct for just as long as the retrosaurs, yet just under two decades ago we found them to be alive and well.”
"With all due respect, Doctor," Lerna said, "A six foot fish is different than a 100 foot tall reptile."
"True," Dr. Bradbury said. "But look at where we are. There is an entire ecosystem here, where science would have thought it to be impossible!" The old man huffed as they climbed over a fallen tree branch that was as big as most normal trees. "We’ve clearly discovered something earth shaking for the entire field of biology."
"When you say ecosystem," Officer Coppola interrupted, "Do you mean… uh… what I mean is… are there more of things like Big Green back there?"
Both Mina Lerna and Dr. Bradbury stopped in their tracks. Officer Coppola turned back to look at them, and was startled by the absolutely grim frowns they wore on their faces. “There could be more, yes,” Dr. Bradbury said. “In fact, there’d have to be.”
So, I was watching The Lost World, the O'brien one, and I saw a scene Agathamus and Stegosaurus being grumpy neighbors. Any way we could see something like this in the Tyrantis verse?
Yep! One of the main story arcs in Tyrantis's world involves all the kaiju of Earth (and eventually some extraterrestrial kaiju as well) learning to put aside their differences and become a family. Tricerak, whose design is very much inspired by Agathamus, goes from being a vicious enemy of Tyrantis to a curmudgeonly ally and, eventually, babysitter for his kid. Other odd monster friendships bloom as well.
