I like to think of this “Oh God, Stupid Creatures”. Really not sure what to make of this – it’s a press release sent to Geek Native. John Murphy is a “plush toy artist” from Asheville, North Carolina. I didn’t even know that was a job. We’re not just talking a “toy artist”, we’re talking […]

Fluffel monster and the dramatic carrot of doom!
Shana Logic gets too much of my money. I can’t help it – these may be hand crafted goodies, specially imported from the States all the way to sunny Scotland – but I simply can’t find these sort of characters anywhere else. For example, there is Boris the Fluffel Monster. You can tell at a […]
Pictures and video of the rare and deadly Sharktopus
This isn’t for people who can’t cope with the sight of blood. I’m afraid wherever there’s a Sharktopus (that’s a shark-octopus) there tends to be lots of blood. Camera men at the SyFy Channel were able to capture some of this stunning footage. The creature is likely to feature on the TV station soon. Hopefully […]
Pete’s Elite costume – Halo cosplay goes awesome
Some people have all the talent. Step forward Mr Pete Mander. This special effects guru has put together a fully functional Elite costume. The scale makes a lot more sense all of a sudden. Imagine come across one of these Elites in a real life Halo situation! Ouchie! I just have to throw in his […]

Photo-real (and rather cute) goblins
Inspired by the “There was a goblin” (spoiler alert) quote from Doctor Who I went looking for some pictures of cheeky gobbos online. It didn’t take long to find Bill Fleming (aka ~KomodoEmpire) at DeviantArt and his rather excellent photo manipulation gallery of Goblins. Very cute. Go buy the prints, people. :)
Giant ants attack building in Houston and a giant hand squashes building in Amsterdam
They’re pretty cool – 3D projectors are getting impressive these days and when you watch from the right angle you’ll enjoy some special effects. First up is an advert from Black Flag (not the band) but some sort of pest control people. Next up is a demo from Samsung. It features everything from a hand […]
Four funny food monsters!
That’s right. Today’s a business travel day and so out of respect to all Geek Native readers (both of you!) I’ve dug deep into the uncredited archives and come up with… … pictures of food! Pictures of food monsters! I’ve no idea what their AC is but I bet it’s not that high.
Nom, nom, nom – the most comfortable way to be eaten by a shark
I think I have a solution to bed time fears. If your little one is worried they’ll be eaten in the night by a monster then why not have feed them to a giant shark? Okay. Who am I kidding? This isn’t a valid idea for anyone’s kiddies. No. This isn’t for kids. This is […]
Is the Star Wars Asteroid monster a space slug or oven mitt?
It’s one of the most famous scenes in Star Wars. In The Empire Strikes Back the Millennium Falcon is hiding from the Empire in an asteroid field. The ship flies into a giant crater – only to have to fly out quickly when it turns out they’ve flown into the mouth of a giant monster. […]
