melplayspersonalTHE MONSTER MASH MEME
Memorable lyrics aside, this is a meme all about celebrating monsters! From the scary to the sexy (and both!), anything goes when it comes to the spookiest time of the year! If you don't see your favorite monster listed here, put it up yourself in your top-level! The scare's the limit!
Vampires
The biggest suckers of them all, they can be bodice-ripping horny ghouls or an emo goth trying to hide their roots. Do they rule the world with a bloody fist, or hide in secrecy among the normals? Mix and match the rules of your favorite Draculas, and decide if you want to be the hunter or the hunted.
Werewolves
Be the sole survivor of a burning bite, or ride with a whole wolf pack by your side! Does your personality change when your body does, or are you a misunderstood good boy? The were doesn't have to stick to wolves - be a werepanther, a wereplatypus, or a werehuman where a very confused pupper turns into a human.
Ghosts
Boo to you, and you, and you! Do you have unresolved business that keeps you lingering in this world, or do you just enjoy being a poltergeist and messing with people's stuff? Take over another's body for an eerie possession, or chase unwanted mortals out of your haunted house. Bedsheet optional.
Zombies
The ultimate case of the hangry, be a flesh-devouring beast who rises from the grave! Was it due to a spell, science, or someone having a really bad day? Is this a running zombie, or is the fastest thing about them their decaying brain? Grab your boomstick and mow them down, or discover there's a heart in there, even if it stopped beating.
Frankenstein's Monsters
The world's most infamous science project is in your hands! Was a broken-hearted genius trying to bring a loved one back to life, or is sewing corpses together a favorite past-time? Was a Bride created for your unfortunate groom? The story can go adorable or tragic, but the bolts and lightning hair might mostly be for aesthetic.
Nagas
Sssssay hello to snake people, also known as sneople. Half person, half snake, all deadly if you so choose! Were they born this way, or created by horrific accident? Revered as deities, or hunted for sport? If snakes aren't your thing, make the lower half another reptile, or another animal altogether! I can think of at least one person who's into half-centipede-people.
Merpeople
As hideous as the Creature from the Black Lagoon, or as enchanting as an underwater siren, the oceans are filled with all kinds of nasties who'd love to have you for dinner. Octopus-Ursulas, kraken, kelpies, if it's trying to drown you, it totally counts. But with imagination at the helm, who says they can't leave the seas and go after you on the sandy shores?
Demons/Devils
They have all kinds of different names, which means all kinds of different troubles. Summoned from the depths of hell itself or roaming about casually for the next victim, use dark magic to find a friend or make a deal with all kinds of strings attached. If horns and a pointy tail aren't your style, whip up a disguise to blend in with the unsuspecting. Who is the master, and who is controlled?
Witches/Warlocks
Depending on your favorites, these magic-users may LOOK human but have nothing else in common. They might have an entirely different system of morality, if they even have one to begin with. Are children their go-to meal, or will the blood of any innocent do? And what are the trials and tribulations of becoming a user of the special magics with a k?
Cryptids
These popular paranormals vary all over the globe, depending on the local legends. Are you daring enough to go exploring and see if these are real? From the Loch Ness Monster to the Chupacabra, there are dangerous reasons why they've remained hidden. If things like Bigfoot and the Jersey Devil don't strike you right, invent your own around your favorite piece of lost history!
Man
The most dangerous monster of all! A Monster Hunter who sees all of these creatures as just another target on their list, a mad scientist who cares more for knowledge than kindness, or an exploitive ringleader whose freaks are more than what they appear. How will your favorite fears handle someone so dangerous to their own kind?
If you're still struggling for ideas, here are some quick thoughts to get the gravestone rolling!
- Be a hybrid! Vampire dad, werewolf mom, selkie cousin!
- Is your monster in hiding, out and proud, or are they as normal as your next-door-neighbor?
- Are certain monsters prejudiced against the others? The Vampire versus Werewolf war is a classic.
- Does your 'normie' WANT to be transformed into something else? What's the process like?
- M-M-Monster High, Monster High, where student bodies lie...
