Monsters are fictional or imaginary creatures. People have been imagining monsters since the earliest times.
Often, monsters were designed as frightening, grotesque mashups of existing creatures. For example, the typical monster in this illustration has mammal-like fur and horns like those of a ram.
Sometimes, though, monsters are friendly.
This monster would fit right in on the Scare floor with Mike and Sully from Disney's Monsters, Inc., or on a visit to Sesame Street with muppet monsters like Cookie Monster and Elmo, or even hiding in a trash can with Oscar the Grouch.

At its tip, draw a short line, then another long line. This outlines the head and gives it a furry appearance.
