As originally put forth: How about another game in which a person posts a word from tsuwm's collection, and the next person posts a description of a monster so-named?
For example, person one posts "jeevesian", and person two says, "a cross between a penguin and a giraffe, having a tuxedo-like black-and-white coat and a tall, thin appearance; is generally not dangerous, but can attack when provoked by particularly bad fashion."
After posting the horrifying definition, post a word for the next person to define.http://home.mn.rr.com/wwftd/************* VoussoirA voussoir is shape shifter whose attacks are experienced most often in large cities. It searches the surface of tall buildings for loose stucco, terra-cotta or other tile pieces and prys them loose... timing their fall onto unsuspecting passer-by's. When it can't find any loose building materials it will often take the form of a pigeon and hone its skills at poop-bombing. vug

A vug is a microscopic monster that crawls into loose fillings and breeds. It causes nasty breath, green foam flecking the afflicted's lips and major dental bills.

A jackanory at first appears to be just a really, really ornery jackass, but if you watch it for a while, you might see it transform into its true, horrifying shape ... claws instead of hooves, spikes on its ears, fangs for teeth, and a really nasty appetite. Run!

Ah, obdormition... One of the worst. You don't see it coming, and it quickly overcomes your senses, leaving you numb. You all have been in its grasp - remember that last time your foot 'went to sleep'?
Most homo sapiens are inherently resistent to obdormition, and so our science hasn't even begun to recognize its evil... We do know that bad posture and poor working conditions increases its virulence.
You see, there are some who lack resistance. It starts as a simple asleep foot (or arm, for those who sleep with their hand over their head), but progresses relentlessly.
By the time you realize something is terribly wrong, you are helpless to resist.
The typical outcome at this point is complete corporeal absorption - the obdormition now is YOU, and you are gone. The obdormition is now free to propigate, and the cycle continues - completely unknown to most...
Good posture everyone!

10Q! I just sent two words over. I am also posting them on the medical site, since they are such great words - and need to be 'monsters' - phthisic and wizen..

A chott is a much larger cousin to the chigoe (aka chigger) which does no burrowing into the skin, but remains on the surface sucking out all the moisture and leaving a mark similar to that of a 'hickey'.

Megrims are related to grims, haunts, ghosts and apparitions. Although the total population of megrims is suspected to be quite large, they are seldom noticed, because they concentrate on scaring themselves instead of passersby.

The quisquos is a nasty little creature that hangs out at large, fast-food sub shops. They get into they supplies and make all the food bland and pyrosis-inducing.
Just the thought of them turns the stomach!
May be a bit obtuse for those not familiar with the chain...
