Another old ink drawing of some of the older oddball monsters. We've seen the return of many of these since this drawing!

OC trade with @metalner! I drew her velveteen rabbit magical girl Harriet, and she’s just. So. Adorable! I really loved getting to play dress up and designing some bunny clothes ♡ (disclaimer, both metalner AND Harriet are super adorable, and there’s nothing they can do about it)

Oh of course. Metalner is a nice easy one because there's just so few of them... Should have thought of that sooner.

METALNER[メタルナー] It might actually be a reference to the METALUNA MUTANT[メタルナ・ミュータント] from the 1955 sci-fi film, This Island Earth? But the design itself looks nothing like the aliens or the flying saucer in that movie

LOVE-LOVE-SEIJIN[ラブラブセイジン]: -seijin[星人] lit."star person" is a suffix you slap onto things to denote them as aliens "from-planet-XYZ" So an alien from the planet LOVE-LOVE, although apart from the literal phonetics, the phrase LOVELOVE[ラヴラヴ] is an adjective used kind of in the way we'd say something is "Lovely-Dovey" in English. So is scans as "Lovey-Dovey Alien."

METAZO[メタゾール] No idea what this was supposed to mean... POSSIBLY AN ATTEMPT AS META-SOL, like an opposite to META-LUNA?? Oh wait duh it's just META from Metalner and ZO from Suezo mashed together... (Oddly it's the exact way you'd write METHAZOLE, as in the chemical compound, but I'm pretty certain that's a coincidence.)

LAI LAI[ライライ] from lai lai[来来]: "come, come..." a thing kind of associated with, like, street barkers trying to get passerby into their shop or restaurant. Consequently it's the name of a lot of Chinese restaurants in any place other than China. The saucer body is a china bowl.

And then there's the first new addition to the family in like 25 years, from LINE Monster Farm,

SUTERUNER[ステルナー] from suteru na[捨てるな]: "don't throw [it] away" because it's a recycling bin
