Monster of the Day #1816

Happy Monday!

Man, all you want to do is get to work, and then….

  • Beckoning Chasm

    Well, the two cars facing each other certainly aren’t going anywhere.

  • Not that there was even a road for them to go on….

  • Gamera977

    Not sure what the bridge was supposed to cross over either. No river, no other roads…

  • Gamera977

    Still I can’t help but love a angler-fish kaiju. Looks like it’s nose lure is even lit up. And it looks like it’s wearing lipstick.

    What on earth is this from!?! I’m assuming a Japanese TV series?

  • Acethepug

    Is this an Ultraman villain? I really have no idea, but that’s what popped into my head.

  • Eric Hinkle

    I was going to say it sure looked Japanese to me.

  • Kirk

    “That’s still better than the construction on , am I right?”

  • Wade Harrell

    Google image search suggested “lego old King Ghidorah” LOL!

    Even though not a singe aspect of this guy is convincing (even the ground has seams!), he gets major points for concept alone! Angler fish/lizard with just a touch of hedge hog!

  • The Rev.

    As Acethepug correctly deduced, this is indeed an Ultraman monster. His name is Hungler, and he was in “Ultraman Leo,” which to my delight popped up on Shout! Factory’s Roku channel a month or so ago. I have only gotten about halfway through the series, and this guy must be a later episode monster as I haven’t seen him in action yet. The highlight has been the fact that Leo’s mentor is none other than Dan Moroboshi, aka Ultra Seven, my favorite of the Ultras. Ken should try to showcase some of the monsters from the series’ brief “horror monsters” run, which featured, among other things, an alien werewolf who looks like a live-action Wile E. Coyote with impractically large fangs.

    “an alien werewolf who looks like a live-action Wile E. Coyote with impractically large fangs.”

    Okay, now THAT I want to see!

  • The Rev.

    Try Googling “Ultraman Leo Alien Wolf.” You’re welcome in advance.

    And yes, he was actually called Alien Wolf. It’s too bad Leo killed him before he could meet up with Guitar Wolf.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Thanks. I looked for it and yow, that sounds like one wild story from the description they gave!
