For a long time now, I've been running a Facebook group 'Random Kaiju Attack' which is simply a feed of neverending posts featuring Japanese monsters of all types, from tokusatsu TV and movies.

ORIGIN:
A beast that lives in a dimension that is constantly shrinking, so it is forced to break out through dimensional rifts into the real world. From there, it gathers Destruction Energy to bring back to its own dimension to use to increase its size.
ABILITIES:
Rift-Break: can burst out of its shrinking dimension
Destruction Absorption: converts actual destruction into dimension-saving energy
Armor Helmet: carapace on head can absorb attacks from enemies
Work conditions and corporate culture got you down?
Don't let it PUSH YOU TOO FAR!!!!
(or you might become like Sklibmok)
ORIGIN:
The oldest employee at the Super Forever Company has been passed over for promotion 1,000 times and finally has had it with management. In frustration, he ingests the entire company's supply of Stimulant Sticks and grows into a disgruntled monster.
Ick Attack : flings multi-coloured blobs of ooze around
Auto-Stim Evolution : ingests more Stimulant Sticks to gain power
Rolling Rage: curls body into ring-shape to roll across ground

I created this fun little chart ages ago, but it still seems as relevant today as ever!
Maybe the execs at Toei will find this chart useful, too!

The miraculous Hattori Hanzo arrives in Paris 845 AD to hack his way through Viking Hordes on his way to capturing Charlemagne's Crown, while the deadly Mochizuki Chiyome grabs an ATV to venture across the violent landscape of Detroit 2050...
Anything can happen when Legendary Ninja gain access to time travel abilities!
I designed the board game Time Vs Ninja to satisfy three distinct urges.
First, the urge to transverse time and space throughout a simple game, where a battle might happen in a futuristic Moon Colony, then continue into Ancient Egypt and end up in Roswell, New Mexico. The mixing of time periods and geographies always interested me and board game that explore this idea always appeal to me.
Secondly, the urge to incorporate some actual ninjitsu lore as well as real history, creating a very light 'educational' element. Maybe you don't know much about Sydney, Australia in 1776, but playing the game there might pique your curiosity!
Finally, the urge to create a wild system that can result in some memorable (and often hilarious) storytelling!
To date, I've published 5 series in the game, with a 6th just around the corner. In each series, more possible time-spaces, artifacts and legendary ninja characters are added. One day, I hope to release a massive boxset with everything.....one day!

When too many objects are cluttered together in a small space, a malicious force slowly alters each of their shapes so that the shapes can fit together more snugly and create a locked-together puzzle-like mass. Once this tightly connected item is formed, the dark spirit Horondipylus comes closer to reality, and once the creature bursts into corporeal existence, it will drive the entire world into madness.
Conglomerating Whisper : an inter-dimensional sound that fuses objects together
Unnerving Glare: eyes on its stalks cast light in a confusing manner
Curl-Up: twists body to avoid direct attacks

As the Mr. Petty smartly says, waiting IS the hardest part, though the wait time rarely exceeds a few seconds.

Maybe you'll do a full-blown illustration based on it!...or write a short story! Heck, at least give the monstrous critter a name!
