If you owned a monster...

If you owned a monster, you know, kinda like a pet - which one would you choose?  Considering the possibility that you might not be able to train it perfectly - like Godzilla.  If he were your loyal guardian, that could be cool.  Then again, you wouldn't want him accidently stepping on or disentigrating your family and friends.

A Werewolf could be interesting, but most of the month, he or she would be some irritating person just hanging around at your house.

Hot Vampire chick?

The Blob would probably make a good garbage disposal.  Or to make one of your neighbors "disappear".

Kong?  Frankenstein's Monster?  Gillman?  Bigfoot?

Still thinking about mine.  How 'bout yours?

And, no, I was not high when I came up with this.

I think I would get a baby Creature From the Black Lagoon. I think it would be fairly low maintenance. I could buy a kids pool, fill it up with the garden hose, and feed it some fish from the grocery store (I'm sure it wouldn't care which kinds of fish it ate...anything on sale would do). I would just keep telling it "You're  a good little Creature", and buy it some bath toys to keep it happy. When it got cold out, I would move the pool into the garage, and set up a space heater and lounge chair for it to be comfortable. If it got to big and unruly, I would just release it into one of the many lakes in Michigan as there would be plenty of humans...I mean fish for it eat.

What no love for the Munster's Spot? Or Igor the bat or roaring Kitty or the wise-cracking raven.



Big Frankie is a buddy/playmate not a pet. Some friend you are. "Make a friend"



If you went with a vampire chick UP, you could walk her like a dog when she transforms into a wolf, have a cage for her when she was a bat, and a coffin for her to rest in as a woman, still though not a pet, playmate (although a dangerous one) yes.

The baby creetch well more of a pet and could be a cute little tyke.



The Addams family had a Kitty Kat too, and octopus Aristotle, Homer the spider, and Hubert and Henry pet vultures.

If you picked Kong you would be his pet!

I guess the word "pet" could be taken as an insult - how about "your best friend"?

Well now, that changes it up doesn't it. Hmmm possibilities.

In that case I think Street Worm is spot on. Friend good! Frankenstein's Monster it is!

Then again, best friends are capable of turning against you!

I'm still thinking...  which means "UP's head hurts!"

I'll take one of those .. send me a hungry one.

No not Frankie! He is loyal to a fault. Brings you food, does farming, and chops wood. Just don't let him play with your daughter by the lake! Although on second thought he did rescue a peasant girl from a river. Plus he is a quick learner and smart cookie! He is literate and bilingual speaking French from the time in the cottage with the De Lacey family and German with Victor and possibly English speaking with Captain Robert Walton at the North Pole.

If it obeys, the Blob would be perfect....not crazy about having neighbors anyways.
     
  If dinosaurs are included, a Styracosaurus.  Wouldn't have to mow the yard, and riding it would save bundles in gas.

Here is CreepysFan mowing the lawn with his pet. Just needs a drink holder!



There could be some drawbacks though.

a pet?? it would have to be a friendly pet....and none of the above monsters are friendly...so...

Oh yeah, the monsters I mentioned are not a list to choose from - just basic ideas/suggestions.  Any monster will do.  And the word "pet" doesn't mean it has to be an animal.  That would be boring.

Easy- Metaluna Mutant. They are quiet and seem like cool cats. Plus, they have mad mining skills, so they can provide gems/gold/anything valuable that they can find in the yard. And they are attractive (to me) and look like they would be good at spooning duing a scary thunderstorm. I also like the way they have those hook hands, which could hold my purse when we go shopping! They are close to human sized, so there would be no problem fitting my alien in the car. I can think of tons of activities that would be way more fun with my Mutant  :)
