Killer Rabbit Cave from Monty Python
The last two years, I’ve done something called Monster Maker Fun. This is a fun thing for October that lets me flex my imagination while those who submit names get to see what comes from them. I give credit with blog links too, so you get a mention that might bring a little traffic.
I’m going to do it again this year if I get enough requests. This will go in conjunction with Raven’s Game, which will be an evening release. Monster Maker will be done every Monday, so it won’t be too crowded in terms of posts. Another thing with this year is that I’m going to try and keep them to chimeras and fairy-types to connect with Charms of the Feykin.
So, how does this work?
- You give a list of 1-5 fake words/names in the comments. For example, Bobar and Druidate from last year.
- I spread them out among the chosen days and come up with a paragraph explaining what they are and what they do.
That’s really it. Fairly simple once you get your first fake name/critter made. So, submit in the comments and we’ll see what’s born this year.

This was fun last year. Coming up with stuff is easier than the name for me. Let me think on it.

Thanks. I find the name to be the hardest part too. Usually I just toss letters together unless something clicks right away. I do notice that many animals are ‘descriptor’ and species name. Example: Black bear, brown bear, sun bear, grizzly bear, polar bear, Chicago Bear, etc.

Thanks. 🙂 The real challenge will be sticking to Feykin and Chimera here.

We’ll see what happens. 🙂 The hardest part might be choosing Halloween/scary music videos.

That part sounds kind of fun though.

It was the first time or two. Then I had trouble because I didn’t want to repeat last year. Then again, people rarely listen to the videos, so I could pick just about anything.

I loved this last year! I struggled this time around, though. All I can come up with is: Droinick, Vanderlux, and Karabite 🙂
