Question: Why is the sasquatch the king of the forest? Is it because of their extreme strength, and their ability to uproot tree with their bare hands? Is it because of their superior intellect, which has enabled them to elude zoologists for centuries? Is it because they can eat six Weetabix in a single sitting? Or is because of their kindness; their affection; the gentleness that they show to the other forest creatures? Although they are feared by so many, the sasquatch is by nature a peaceful beast. They have been sighted picking wildflowers and gifting them to birds when building their nests. Explorers have even found small caches of nuts and acorns in the sasquatch's den, and it is believed that they develop these stockpiles so that they can keep squirrels well fed during the cold, long winters. Answer: It's the Weetabix one. Littlefoot is the littlest bigfoot - but he is still notably strong, and on a good day can mange a very respectable four wheaty biscuits.

Sunny the Jackalope

The jackalope is a ‘fearsome critter’ - a staple of North American folklore. The veteran loggers at logging camps would hoax newcomers with murmurings of critters such as hugags, hodags, gumberoos and jackalopes - hares with the antlers of deer. The newcomers would then go off into the woods in the hope of tracking the fabled beast. Hours later, they would trundle back to the camp, only for the veteran loggers to reveal that there was no such critter all along, and they’d all laugh, shoveling mouthfuls of bigfoot steak down their necks.

Others might not be happy to be described as a 'monster', but Daisy is very proud of their horns, their teeth, and their thick, green fur. They spend most of their time rummaging through the undergrowth, picking flowers and feasting on crunchy acorns.

"Sell all you have Give it to the kittens And pour the milk On Louis' grave." This amigurumi cat is inspired by the increasingly psychedelic cat paintings of Louis Wain. After painting naturalistic cats in his early career, Wain's style became more anthropomorphized over time, before becoming more abstract and geometric, widely believed to be a result of mental ill-health.

My teapot hermit crab! I found it so hard to take a photo from an angle where you can actually tell that it's in a teapot. Decided to have another shot at it!

Satan is known by many different names around the globe. He may be known as the Devil, Lucifer, the Antichrist, Beelzebub, Belial or the Beast. He's also been called a rascal, a rotter and even on occasion a raasclaat.

Teapot Hermit Crab

Traditionally, hermit crabs live out their days scuttling around in a discarded snail shell, filtering through grit for scraps. If they're lucky, they may happen upon a fisherman's boot nestled amongst some kelp and make a home of it, munching on the surrounding seaweed. In fact, most hermit crabs dream of such a life. But not Tetley.

Tetley travelled to England when he was just a young crab and paddled up the River Thames to the Houses of Parliament. There he met Earl Grey, who took him in and gave him a home in a small milk jug. Tetley soon outgrew it, and Grey rehoused him in a teacup. Now an adult, he lives quite contently in his teapot, spending his days sipping on Chai and snipping custard creams with his claws.

You are King of Frogs. You are King of Frogs. You are King of Frogs. Now go. Go, my boy. Go out into the world. Go and eat bluebottles. Eat aphids and worms. Eat crickets and moths. Use your binocular vision to look for threats and be the Frog - be the King of Frogs - be the Frog that I know you can be.

Mandrake Behold the mandrake, a peculiar plant of arcane origins. Many mandrakes spend their lives in mystical servitude, being fed the milk of a cow and swaddled in a dead man's shroud to bring magical might to their master. Others sprout at the feet of the hanged on the spot where the deceased's essence has fertilised the soil. Any man who tries to root up the botanical blight drops dead as it emit's its piercing shriek. This particular mandrake, however, has a more modest background and can most often be found pottering around an old greenhouse in Yorkshire, trying to flirt with onions and digging up worms. Pattern

The Onklid (Latin Pan Quercus) is a highly elusive primate, known for representing a one-member ecosystem. The Onklid harvests the ripe, juicy fruits that grow from its head and as such lives completely independently of all other species. Many people have tried to harvest the fruits for themselves, believing that their consumption provides infinite wisdom. However, the Onklid is highly defensive and can exhibit extraordinary power and strength when required. There are, however, methods of obtaining the fruits; it is rumoured that all Onklids will allow a person to take a basket of fruit in return for a six-pack of Special Brew.
