Description Smogulus: actually a black, oily mollusk with vestigial tentacles, the Smogulus is born in pits of noxious chemical run-off and subsists on a diet of oil, sludge, pesticide, mercury, gasoline and especially metal, from which it slowly generates a mechanical outer body of piping. When agitated, it spews a thick cloud of ash, sulphur and carbon monoxide. Appropriately enough, this creature of pollution and waste is quite fond of television.

Devilweed: equal parts animal and plant, the Devilweed grows from carrion in highly irradiated areas and feeds primarily on flesh, especially when rotten. It smells sweeter than any natural flower, but its touch causes a terrible rash. It produces a sound similar to a giggling child.

Grave Snitch: these sneaky, trouble-making ghouls are notorious thieves and ravenous scavengers. With their massive, rat-like skulls, they gnaw through soil, wood and even stone to uncover corpses and swallow select body parts for absorption into their pulpy, amorphous bodies. For unknown reasons, every individual snitch is obsessed with collecting something specific from the corpses of humans. Some may pilfer only the pocket change of the dead; others may go for teeth, hair, fingernails or vertebrae. They may even maintain a secret horde in a forgotten crypt, dried-up well or abandoned house, much to the confusion and disappointment of naive treasure-hunters.

Banderwock: if you don't go to bed like a good little boy or girl, the Banderwock will spring forth from your shadow, and you'll never be able to sleep again.

Hellwig: insects themselves are immune to the effects of vampirism, but one unique species of parasitic moth has co-evolved with terrestrial vampirism and developed a dependancy on infected blood. As an aside, it is the only insect capable of fusion with a vampire that does not destroy the virus in the process. Now capable of preying on blood of any type, these insectoid mutants terrorize man and vampire alike with their paralyzing sting and ear-splitting cry. They can fly on their feeble wings by swelling with a buoyant gas, which escapes from under their arms as a luminous blue powder.

Salavog: this ravenous, reptilian mutant can mesmerize prey with a swirling, psychadelic display of color changes before lashing out with its sticky tongue, unhinging its jaws and swallowing the victim whole. Its stomach can stretch to accommodate even human-sized prey. When angered, it inflates a blood-red throat sac and emits a trumpeting cry. It craves insects and insectoid monsters, especially Karacha.

Hellwig is now an earwig fusion.

Actually the earwig one always existed but it was called fearwig. When I got rid of this monster I used the name hellwig for the earwig.

Weird, I actually like this old design for the Banderwock much better than the new one.

Hmm, i'd actually begun wondering about insect vampires, but the Hellwig clears that up!

Ah, so here's the monster I saw in scraps! The Banderw--AAAAUGH!

*runs to bed very, very fast, pulls covers tightly over head, and passes out from hyperventilation*

...Hey, it really works.

Those teeth are super-scary! The necktie is a nice choice! Actually, I think I like this version even better than the one I saw in your scraps.

No offense, but I miss the old Banderwock.

there was just nothing really special about it to me. I still think of all the necromon, it fits in the least...

...I see. Can you make a Necromon that looks like a Teapot?

The Hellwig and the Smogulus are just awsome! The Smogulus reminds me of the Smog Monster from Godzlle and the idea of a vampire insect, other than a mosquito, is awsome!

I love banderwock's new tie, its the greatest! Awesome change, he doesnt look as sinister as he did before, but i rather like his newer look!
Salvagogs update makes him look more snake-like, although, i really like the way he looks sleek.
Good job!

Smogulos and Banderwock are cool but all the Necromon are....

rupted [2004-12-31 05:30:03 +0000 UTC]

Wow, these looks kinda different from the others, alot more...'evolved' I guess.
Sigh, I think I deserve the Grave Snitch...and the Banderwock^^

I would have thought that you'd run out of ideas by now, but these are some of the best Necromon yet. I especially like the Grave Snitch and the Salavog. Of course the Banderwock is cool too, I assume it's the result of a hideous coupling bewteen a Bandersnatch and a Jabberwocky?

Actually I currently have several dozen ideas "backed up" that I lack the energy to draw. I come up with several monsters a day (always have since I was little) that I don't even bother remembering.

Daimera [2004-12-29 07:10:18 +0000 UTC]

By looks I like Grave Snitch and Salavog. Devilweed's sweet smell, rash-touch, and childlike giggling, however, just seem to resonate with its appearance to make it even cooler.
