In this world there lives a race of hideous monsters no words can describe - they can make the worst demons of your nightmares seem like saintly angels.

How to describe these... creatures? Well, to start off, they are hulking giants, big enough to be able to cause tiny earthquakes with every step and leave small craters where their feet once were. They can change the color and shape of their skin time to time (Camouflage, perhaps?) for some absurd reason. Their feet can change too - they grow larger, almost out of proportion, and become vividly colored. The increase of surface area is possibly made to increase the amount of unfortunate organisms crushed under the sharp soles. And their eyes. If you can get close to them and live to tell the tale, like me, their eyes... the glistening pupils reflect the dacnomanic madness and bloodlust in their souls.

Yet none of these physical atrocities can compare to the horrors of their nefarious behavior.

These monsters are like interplanetary parasites... they lay larva after larva like it'd never end and they slowly infest all of the natural habitats, moving into them, overpowering the original inhabitants, and utterly destroying them. Why, a lush, green jungle can be reduced to a barren wasteland in a matter of weeks after these abominations sweep through. After that, they usually set up their own habitat, a disgusting, impure hive to house their population on the same plot of land where a beautiful, heavenly Eden of innocence once thrived.

The beasts strip a planet of its natural resources, rendering it unlivable. When that happens, they, with no remorse, simply migrate to another planet to perform the same deed on, leaving the rest of the living on that dying planet to slowly starve off to oblivion...

They can hunt down an entire species to extinction. For food? Nope. For territory? Nada. For pleasure. For the disturbing, sadistic pleasure of making another suffer. These monsters are ungrateful - whatever they can't use they throw out in the most barbaric fashion, leaving the vultures to settle and feast.

The monsters can destroy whole forests for their own benefit in less than two days. They can destroy giant chunks of ice as if they never existed. They can burn the atmosphere with their powers.

One of the most godawful acts I've personally seen these monsters perform is what I'd like to refer to as The Taboo. A group of monsters, or one of their brethen, would capture a baby infant of another species, before they even opened their eyes to the world, from their tearful mothers, abduct them and take them to one of their gruesome, crowded hive cities. There they would give the infant to another monster, who would then enslave and brainwash the infant as it grows up, forces it to do its bidding, and punishes the infant if it does not. The monster expects the captured unfortunate to help it and comfort it, and entertain it, like some twisted variation of a sex slave (Minus the "sex" part, of course).

The monsters... they kill each other too. From extra appendages, they can shoot out exploding darts that mortally wound their prey. One would think that is an excellent benefit for hunting, a foolproof way to kill and eat the victim... but that's not what the creatures use the darts for. No, they kill their kinsmen for reasons and excuses beyond our comprehension; it seems from my observation that the primary victims of this carnage are "different monsters" - monsters who do not fit with the rest of the hivemind. Where this prejudice comes from, no sane being can understand. None except for the monsters.

There you have it. This is only some of the barbarity these beasts commit; however, I do believe it's enough to convince you. And please, spread the word to the ignorant. Spread it to all of them - the insects, squirrels, rabbits, arachnids, fishes, cows, and more. Just spread the warning, the warning of the danger that is only too close to them. Spread it:

Beware of the worst monster of the world.

Beware of the humans.
