The List Of MONTSTRS

[topaz]

I have in my hands a document known as "The List Of Montstrs", apparently penned by my elder son.  It appears to describe a taxonomy of beasts of the nether world.  Whether it is organized by phylum or genus or in order of scariness is not clear to me.

The List Of Montstrs includes the typical montstrs that we are all familiar with, including:

zombes
gosts
vampirs
scalitins
aleins
mumes
banshe
monstr cat

It also includes some of the more obscure members of this family, like:

lung meis
lindorns
vanggl dash
bunyip
joo fret
howsickago
monkfish
wulfucin

But most intriguing of all:

dog with wigs

It's enough to scare me, that's for sure.

Australians have nothing to do with it. It's
Philadelpians who know the true bunyip.

Well, Philadelphians of a certain age, I guess.

"Bertie the Bunyip" was written by an Aussie, and is based on the Australian legend (http://home.iprimus.com.au/gunnado/bunyip.html).

(I didn't even have to google for the name of the show: when we were told the Bunyip legend when I was in Australia, one of the people I was with talked about a kid's show he saw with a bunyip.)
