Monster of the Day #821

OK, now THIS is the stuff. That's a marvelous monster, and it looks fantastic on the show. I never liked monsters that were over-designed (one problem with a lot of CGI monsters), and this one is basic and just incredible. Top notch stuff. For a TV show, the effects are really top notch. Check…

Unsurprisingly for the first two episodes they didn't get too crazy (although it wouldn't take long). Here's a Kong-like chap, who is at least more sympathetic then Gomess.
