nice to see you back here again.

Hi Kim,

It's good to be back. I'm hoping I can get into the swing of things again.

I really like your approach to this. The size thing is definitely a thing, and I like your subcategories for a two-creature combination.

Another type of monstrous creature I'm thinking of is the swarming monster--so, not one individual (large-ish) being, but creatures that operate in a mob. In real life, this would be things like bees or ants or pirañas--things that overwhelm by force of numbers.

That's a good one.

Great to see you here!

Also, transcribing bad dreams works!

Hey Gustavo!

Bad dreams would work too. Luckily its been a long time since I've had one of those :)
