Fearsome French Beasts

I have finally had time to analyze some of the recent drawings that were sent to me.
This batch came from a brother and sister team of very young monstrologists in Paris, France.
Antoine and Alice have created some very interesting images but, and this is understandable due to their tender age, have not given me much information apart from the drawings.

Here is the most compelling monster in my opinion. I would love to know more about it.

This is very frightening duo of monsters, I wonder if they are related to the terrifying Danish Gutrotter?

And this last one I believe is a variation on the Tadpole Monster so often observed by very young monstrologists.



You can of course read more about the Tadpole Monster in my Field Guide .

An interesting product & Aliens

My friend Emily sent me a link to an interesting product: An anti-monster spray.
It seems like I am not the only one to have discovered that monsters are sensitive to smells.
My homemade potpourri has kept me safe on many an occasion and I am happy to see that someone has created an easy to use product available to the general public.
I have generally made my potpourri very pungent (Curry, Cloves and Karl Lagerfeld Cologne combined), to be on the safe side...I wonder if nice smells might be as efficient?

I have been held up in my monstrology studies by several reports that initially seemed to be about monsters but turned out to be about aliens. So far any good information has been hard to get but here's an image that was recently sent to me.
It depicts two "Mulchons", an alien race of ravenous tree-eaters. The drawing came from an Alaskan lumberjack by the name Hank Swenson. He claims that they ate a fully grown tree as fast as he could eat an apple, that they travel by interstellar timber-trucks and that their droppings make excellent weed and pest resitant mulch.
