Monster

Greek Monsters For my Greek monster I have chosen the Griffin monster. I chose this monster because it look really cool and I feel as if it would be really exhilarating to take a ride with it on it’s back. This monster looks somewhat like an Eagle; with the body of a Lion, with humongous wings. Therefore, giving the monster the ability to fly around. As the mythological creature shows the males have the body of a lion along with the tail of one. With talons of the Eagle matching its head, but males have spikes on their backs.

Every monster or villain has a choice to choose good or evil. Usually when monsters choose evil or go down the path of destruction, they end up dead or on the losing side. Everyone faces a monster physically or emotionally. A character can have an inner-beast of not having credence in them or facing head on as a task that gets them to victory. In…

MONSTERS AT WORK is a comedy that brings together some of the most famous icons in film history, such as the werewolf, Frankenstein’s Monster, and The Count (vampire). The idea of real-life monsters living among humans is a fun and enjoyable concept. The story conveys how even monsters have to struggle for a living and have personal issues.
