😈👹👺🤖!!!!!MONSTER SEASON COMMENCES!!!!!!👾👽👻🎃

Woe betide us!

The slimy, scaly, unscrupulous claw of October has arrived once again to clasp at our wavering hearts and instill a dread so deep, so grievous, and so dark, that no light can ever hope to reach within it.

It is with the greatest of fear and trepidation that I must once more pry open the jaws of the Rare Monster Archives to reveal the ill-contents of this, The Calamitous Compendium of Year Four.

What array of monstrosities awaits us within? Who could possibly say? Who would want to? Anyone with an ounce of sense would have fled to the hills long ago. . . If you remain, I can only thank you for accompanying me on this, most perilous of journeys.

What a haul this year! We have a rich assortment amongst these findings and profiles, the materials within have been carefully obtained by our world class agents through sneakery, snakery, covert maneuvering, safe-cracking, breaking and entering, trickery, misdirection, cajolery, roguery, conspiracy and outright armed robbery. Through these skills and others our daring team have gained exclusive access to ancient ruins, undersea laboratories, classified astronomical charts, underground military bases, forbidden libraries, lunar outposts and all manner of confidential records.

The stupendous scope of our scintillating specimens is summed up by this quote from the eminent Swiss-American Biologist and Geologist Louis Agassiz:

“The possibilities of existence run so deeply into the extravagant that there is scarcely any conception too extraordinary for nature to realize.”

So brave with us if you will in the coming days and weeks as we reveal the results of this year’s intrepid investigations.

Or if you are feeling particularly courageous you can explore the riveting results from the previous three years over at the Freeform Trouble Rare Monster Archives.
