Monsters
Patron Saints
In General
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Most of them operate on this morality, which is best indicated by the number of rings on their patron saint images. The ones with multiple rings have a good enough or basic understanding of morals (Long Horse, Bridge Worm, Chicken Ghost, etc), whereas the ones with just one ring have very strange or very little sets of morals (Siren Head, Angel). Then there's the ones with no morality whatsoever (Cartoon Cat, Good Boy).
- Eldritch Abomination: All of them are more or less this, especially those on the lower end of the scale of morality.
- Patron Saint: All the creatures categorized as this trope are protectors or representatives of specific attributes.
Siren Head
Siren Head
Patron Saint of Going Missing Without a Trace, of Creeping Dread, of Bad Things Coming
- "She was on vacation with her husband and they were scoping out graveyards on the way, as you do, when she saw it. Rising out of the old cemetery, big as an old (macabre) telephone pole. Was this some kind of bizarre art piece the authorities hadn't gotten wise to yet? Even as she stepped out of the car, the megaphones on its "head" screeched to life. "NINE. EIGHTEEN. ONE. CHILD. SEVENTEEN. REMOVE. VILE.". A buzzing, doubled voice screamed random words at her. At this point, it jerked into motion, striding down the hill towards her."
A cryptid resembling a massive mummy with a pair of sirens on its head, which allows it to mimic a wide variety of sounds to lure prey. It's among the most famous and recognizable of Trevor's monsters, especially since its resurgence in popularity around early 2020.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: Intentionally or not, Siren Head is effectively Trevor's own Slender Man: a tall, unnaturally thin Humanoid Abomination who stalks and kills people in the woods. Unlike Slender Man, however, Siren Head is not the Big Bad of its mythos.
- Arch-Enemy: Apparently he's this to Long Horse.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: He and Cartoon Cat are referred to as "enemies from the void", implying that they're working together and came from the same place.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Siren Head has moments of It Can Think, but other then that it’s just a predator hunting its prey.
- Creepy Asymmetry: Its two sirens (actually mouths) are usually depicted as mismatched, with one higher than the other, unlike actual sirens.
- Dem Bones: Siren Head's body is so skeletal that the shape of its bones can be clearly seen under its skin.
- The Dragon: Apparently it's, quoting Trevor, "the ambassador/emissary/hype man for... something from somewhere else".
- Dragon-in-Chief: He serves as The Dragon to something, but so far the creature hasn't appeared while Siren Head appeared multiple times. Oh, and he's part of the Big Bad Duumvirate.
- Eldritch Abomination: Trevor has actually stated that Siren Head could possibly be the "static physical form of an unfathomable supernatural entity", and that Siren Head's design can constantly update or change depending who sees him.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: Siren Head often disguises itself by standing completely still near various tall objects, such as trees in the forest or telephone poles.
- Humanoid Abomination: Siren Head's body is humanoid and disturbingly near-skeletal, with fleshy sirens with mouths for heads.
- It Can Think: Despite being brainless, Siren Head is crafty when it comes to harnessing its prey such as mimicking the voices of those it had caught.
- Lean and Mean: An extremely thin and tall creature who kidnaps and attacks people.
- Make Some Noise: Siren Head's main ability; it can play various sounds such as number stations, tornado sirens, emergency alerts, or other people's voices. Additionally, it can play sounds so loud that it can burst the eardrums and soft tissues of anyone nearby.
- Non-Human Head: Guess.
- Photographic Memory: It can memorize any sound or voice and mimic it with precise accuracy at a later time after hearing it only once.
- Too Many Mouths: Its "sirens" are actually mouths with teeth.
- Voice Changeling: How it lures humans, by imitating the voices of other people.
- Would Hit a Girl: The above story implies that he killed a woman that was on vacation with her husband.
- Would Hurt a Child: Is implied to have killed a child that was on a camping trip with his father.
Long Horse
Long Horse
I had that dream again, about the horse on the stairs.
A cryptid resembling a horse skull with an infinite neck, and is among the more famous monsters. Benevolent and friendly, it will often warn humans of terrible events that are soon to come.
- Ambiguous Gender: Implied, as Henderson has responded to people who refer to Long Horse by he/him, she/her, they/them and it/its without ever correcting any of them. Given that Long Horse is an Eldritch Abomination, the concept of gender probably doesn't even apply.
- Animalistic Abomination: It's a skeletal horse with a long neck that seems to be endlessly stretching at random directions.
- Arch-Enemy: It's apparently this to Siren Head.
- Benevolent Abomination: Long Horse is certainly this. A horrific looking, incomprehensible being that bends reality, that wishes only to protect humans.
- Creepy Good: Despite resembling a skeletal horse abomination, it's among the more helpful cryptids out there.
- Dem Bones: Its body is more or less a horse skeleton, more specifically a skull and neck.
- Evil Smells Bad: Inverted; the kind Long Horse is reported to have a sweet, cinnamon smell.
- Foreseeing My Death: It has the ability to see into a being's future, and it will attempt to warn those beings beforehand.
- Hero Antagonist: Opposes both Sirenhead and possibly Cartoon Cat due to their differing views on humanity.
- Long Neck: An infinitely long one at that, which gives it its name.
- Mind Screw: Its neck is so long and twisting that people won't be able to see the body, if it even has one at least. Said neck will also phase through matter on occasion.
- Nice Guy: Probably the most benevolent of Trevor's creations.
- The Omnipresent: Long Horse has the ability to phase in and out of existence, and thanks to their infinite neck and intelligence they're able to appear to anyone at any point... including in their dreams.
- Our Angels Are Different: He's speculated to be an angel sent by the Christian God, which explains his behavior.
- Stock Animal Diet: It's a cryptid only resembling a horse, but nonetheless, Trevor confirmed that it does enjoy apples.
- Token Good Teammate: Is benevolent and appears to people as a herald of an upcoming bad omen.
Cartoon Cat
Cartoon Cat
THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
"Something very old. A hungry, hollow rot hiding behind an outdated smiling face. As long as there are people watching, it has a hatch to our reality."
A cryptid resembling an anthropomorphic, cartoon cat. It's among one of the most dangerous and evilest of Trevor's due to its unnatural appearance and abilities.- Alliterative Name: Cartoon Cat.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: He and Siren Head are referred to as "enemies from the void", implying that they're working together and came from the same place.
- Corrupted Character Copy: He's essentially Felix the Cat as an evil monstrosity.
- Dark Is Evil: His body is covered head to toe in black fur and he's most certainly evil.
- The Dreaded: Even the other monsters are afraid of him.
- Eldritch Abomination: Has traces of this trope all over. First, it takes the form of a cartoon character. Second, it can shapeshift into whatever it desires to an almost endless degree. Third, it possesses cartoon physics, so the laws of physics don't abide to it that much. Finally, it has more awareness of what it does in comparison to most other monsters, so it does evil actions by choice rather than instinct. Word of God states he's some sort of cosmic horror, " something cosmic and awful" ; "something foul and rancid and dripping and ancient".
- Eviler than Thou: Is the most malevolent entity in the mythos, being even more evil than the Man with the Upside-Down Face, as confirmed multiple times by Word of God.
- Expy: As an Eldritch Abomination with a darkly mischievous streak, the ability to shapeshift into countless forms, and an active desire to meddle in the lives of humans (as opposed to killing for sustenance or by inadvertence), he closely resembles Nyarlathotep.
- Faux Affably Evil: Looks and acts like a cartoon character... although that doesn't make him harmless.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: Word of God stated several times that Cartoon Cat's design is just a shape the Eldritch Abomination chose to manifests itself on Earth, and not its real appearance. In Henderson's words, Cartoon Cat is "something [...] filtered through old media" and "wearing a cartoon like a stretched out, thread-bare Halloween costume". Henderson also hinted that Cartoon Cat could take other shapes based on what the general population associated the most with a cartoon character.
- Ink Blot Cartoon Style: He is a grotesque version of said style, and it is implied it either manifested in 1939 or took the appearance of a popular 1939 cartoon character.
- Nightmare Face: Relative to humans, constantly. Relative to his own expressions, he's at his worst mid-transformation thanks to looking like a realistically-depicted smear frame.
- Non-Standard Character Design: As his name indicates. His overall design is far more cartoonier (but still grotesque) than that of the rest of Henderson's more realistic looking monsters.
- Nothing Is Scarier: Trevor has been quite vague on providing facts on Cartoon Cat. For example, the fact sheet of Cartoon Cat
provided by Trevor has all of the text redacted, and when someone asked on Trevor's CuriousCat profile what Cartoon Cat is, Trevor responded with [REDACTED]. However, Trevor has been more open recently on revealing facts about him.- Additionally, not much about what Cartoon Cat actually does to his victims has been revealed, though Word of God states he is not only the most powerful character of the mythos, but that he's also the worst overall, even more than the Man with the Upside-Down Face. Perhaps it's best if we don't find out what Cartoon Cat actually does, or the true extent of his powers.
- Shout-Out: Cartoon Cat's appearance brings to mind Felix the Cat, though its gloves and shoes rather remind of Mickey Mouse. Henderson also uses a lot of references to Looney Tunes, either writing "That's all, folks!" under the Cartoon Cat pictures, or giving him for leitmotiv a slowed-down version of the Looney Tunes iconic theme.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Apparently, the only thing stoping him from going into a murder spree is the abandoned mall where he lives, as he either can't find the way out or just doesn't bother to. However, there are images of him roaming outside the mall.
- Slasher Smile: His most prominent expression.
- Token Evil Teammate: He's one of the few unambiguously evil monsters. Tellingly, when the Patron Saints art set was released, he didn't get a halo nor patron title, instead being shown in darkness and gnashing teeth, even though the similarly monstrous Man with the Upside-Down Face did. Why? He was too evil.
Bridge Worms
Bridge Worms
Don't Be Fooled
Cryptids resembling giant worms with human arms, and are usually lurking in tunnels. They possess skin flaps that resemble the fronts on human faces, which they use to hide their real, grotesque faces.- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: They appear like sad, harmless creatures until they lure you close enough and then eat you while revealing their true terrifying faces.
- Body Horror: Bridge Worms possess face-like skin flaps over their heads, and they can remove said flaps like skin peeling off. The faces of said heads are fleshy and vaguely reminescent of the skinned faces of humans.
- Enfant Terrible: Most of the Bridge Worms we see are juveniles, and they seem just as deadly and voracious as any large predator could be. Imagine what the adults look like.
- Facial Façade: They have fake faces that cover their real, uglier faces. They use their false faces to lure in any potential prey they find.
- Game Face: They keep their false faces on most of the time, but once they attack, they'll reveal their true faces to feed.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: The Bridge Worms look pitiful, but this is merely a trick to lure you into their lair before they eat you.
Big Charlie
Big Charlie
- Animalistic Abomination: He is essentially a massive, near-hairless cow with a severe flesh wound and chicken-like features. Fortunately, he rather passive and acts close to a real cow.
- Body Horror: The poor thing is not only skinny to the bone, but he also has a gaping, fleshy hole between his ribs that often drops meat scraps. It doesn't help that the scraps form Lil Nuggets over time.
- Creepy Good: He looks horrifying but he's actually a peaceful creature who never intends to cause mayhem.
- Extreme Omnivore: One of the report logs on his SCP Foundation entry states that he would eat anything around from hay to wood and bricks, and sometimes even other cows.
- Gentle Giant: Despite his mangled and twisted appearance, Big Charlie never hurt anyone and he's running away from something dangerous rather than causing mayhem.
- Intercontinuity Crossover: He appears in the SCP Foundation as "SCP-4158", where his backstory is elaborated on.
- Non-Malicious Monster: He's only causing mayhem because he's running away from something dangerous.
- Sickening Slaughterhouse: His first appearance implies that he fled from one of these.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He only wants to just live his life normally, yet he unwillingly drops meat nuggets that gradually transform into powerful monstrosities. At least most of them are benevolent, though.
Lil' Nuggets
Lil' Nuggets
- Evolution Power-Up: Since they're really just children, they will gradually grow up into more dangerous forms, usually either the Lambs or the Void Nuggets.
- Metamorphosis Monster: They start out cute but fairly weak enough to kill easily, but eating enough food will in time transform them into more powerful abominations.
- Nice Guy: Cute and friendly Lil' guys.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: In a universe filled with ungodly abominations, a pink meatball with googly eyes is a saving grace for our eyes. Its mannerisms definitely help in this case.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Crackers apparently.
The Lamb
The Lamb
- Animalistic Abomination: Despite its namesake, it barely resembles a lamb outside of its shape. Instead, it looks like a skinned, rotting meat sack with a gaping maw on top. It doesn't help that it has powers that can kill a person in close proximity.
- Creepy Good: It's been shown, as well as outright said by Henderson himself, that the Lamb apparently means well and is one of the good ones. So long as you get past its alien appearance and abilities.
- Cult: It was apparently captured and honored as the Anti-Christ by one. It's unknown what happened to either the cult or the Lamb.
- Dark Messiah: Worshiped as the Antichrist by one cult.
- Nice Guy: As expected from the adult form of the Ugly Cute Lil' Nuggets.
- Power Incontinence: Although not a malicious creature, it appears to have trouble controlling its powers, resulting in harm to those who get too close for their own good.
Void Nugget
- Eldritch Abomination: Whatever this is, it definitely isn't a Lil' Nugget anymore.
- Token Evil Teammate: Implied. Out of all the creatures related to Big Charlie, the Void Nuggets are the most mysterious, and seemingly malicious, of the four.
Bonesworth
Bonesworth
- Creepy Good: Similar to Long Horse, Bonesworth is a friendly monster that wants to make friends.
- Dark Is Not Evil: But it does tend to overstay its welcome.
- Dem Bones: As his name suggests, Bonesworth is a legless animated skeleton.
- Nice Guy: A bit creepy for hanging around people's homes, but he’s harmless. The problem is that he won't leave you alone.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: The "danger" of Bonesworth.
The God of Chickens
The God of Chickens
Cock-a-doodle-do
"You can tell whenever he’s running through the woods nearby, all the chickens on the farm start singing at once, like a choir."
A ghastly cryptid resembling a featherless, humanoid chicken. Living up to its namesake, it protects poultry from the abuse of humans.- Anti-Villain: The God of Chickens wants to protect poultry from humans, and he leaves you alone if you respect their lives.
- Berserk Button: If you're trying to slaughter and eat poultry, he'll become hostile, but he's only hostile to those who do this.
- Bird People: Straddles between Animalistic Abomination and Humanoid Abomination. His appearance is that of a big anthropomorphic chicken fetus.
- God Is Good: For the chickens anyway, since he'll do anything to protect them and they start singing at once like a choir whenever he's around.
- Odd Job Gods: He's just the god of chickens. Not agriculture, not even livestock in general, just chickens.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes are always bright red, and is hostile to those that eat poultry.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: The God wants to protect birds, but he turns hostile to anyone who hurts poultry, even people just buying eggs.
The Man With the Upside-Down Face
The Man With the Upside-Down Face
- Dark Is Evil: A sinister looking monster with an equally sinister personality, the Man With the Upside-Down Face is a Humanoid Abomination that enjoys the misery of accident victims.
- Doom Magnet: Assuming he's not behind the tragedies that occur on every picture he appears, he's likely this.
- Eldritch Abomination: Trevor has stated that if one were to injure the Man with the Upside-Down Face, it wouldn't matter, as his physical form is "just for show" and he is timeless.
- Emotion Eater: Feeds on negative emotions such as grief.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Subverted. He may look like a man with an upside down face, but he is actually a timeless Emotion Eater who feeds on the suffering of his victims, and may be from another dimension. His appearance is merely for show.
- Faux Affably Evil: His permanent smile is disconcerting when comparing his behavior.
- For the Evulz: Unlike the other creatures in the mythos who are typically depicted as amoral predators, the Man With the Upside-Down Face appears to genuinely enjoy terrorizing his victims as evidenced by his default Slasher Smile.
- Hell Is That Noise: His presence can be indicated by a small series of whistles that he makes.
- Humans Are Bastards: Not exactly a human for obvious reasons, the Man is the most human-like cryptid in design and is inarguably monstrous.
- Humanoid Abomination: Resembles a human, but with an obvious difference.
- Invisible to Normals: One possible explanation as to why people don't notice it standing in crowds, and why it can only be seen in photos.
- Jerkass: Trevor states he's the "pettiest asshole of the bunch".
- The Runt at the End: Appears to be actively malevolent and most human-like.
- Sadist: He presumably causes the fatal accidents he appears at to happen. He definitely takes sadistic pleasure at the pain and suffering that happens as a result and literally feeds off the negative emotions.
- Serial Killer: If he does cause the accidents that he appears at, then he not only feeds on the negative emotions of the victims, he derives pleasure in bringing harm to them.
- Slasher Smile: His default expression.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Despite always being seen around crowds, nobody around him seems to either notice or care about him.
Good Boy
Good Boy
Bad Dog
A mysterious cryptid resembling a demented dog. Not much is known about him other than the fact that he's dangerous to an unknown degree.- Animalistic Abomination: Resembles a dog, which is where it gets its name.
- Facial Horror: It has a constantly mortified expression on its face, with foggy bluish eyes with no pupils and a gaping mouth with no teeth, tongue or uvula.
- Ironic Name: Good Boy is a dangerous cryptid, despite its name.
The Angel
The Angel
- Humanoid Abomination: Resembles a human skeleton, but has web like appendages that helps it stick to door frames.
- Our Angels Are Different: Assuming its namesake is accurate.
Fetid King
The Fetid King
- Computer Virus: This cryptid spreads itself and its powers through technology like a computer virus.
- Dem Bones: The Fetid King appears to be skeletal, assuming this is the form it chooses to take.
- Eldritch Abomination: A digital being that can infect technology on its own. Seemingly a living virus.
The Stranger
The Stranger
Patron saint of getting lost in sprawling department stores and malls, and of those that would like you to stay that way.
A ghostly humanoid with a pinata mask, its induces negative feelings that make people lose themselves in their surroundings.- Humanoid Abomination: Similar to the Man With the Upside-Down Face, the Stranger is a humanoid figure in a black cloak, albeit much taller and with a comically oversized mask. It also possesses some sort of aura capable of inducing feelings of disorientation in its victims, such as vertigo around elevators, and its vaguely implied to feed off that disorientation in some capacity.
The Singing Clergyman
The Singing Clergyman
Siren Head needs to step up his game!
A mysterious handmade robotic entity that's capable of singing, as its name suggests, inducing several side effects on the listener.- Brown Note: Its music leads to extreme insomnia, difficulty concentrating and a desperate need to go back to the clergyman and hear it sing again.
- Long Neck: Though not infinitely like Long Horse's, it still has an oddly long one composed of black wires.
- Mechanical Abomination: It is an unfinished automaton with mysterious abilities through its chanting. Though Trevor has implied that it may be only partly robotic.
The Giants
In General
Clockwise from upper left: The Wandering Faith, the Bird Watcher, You And A Loved One Have Been Pre-Chosen, and the Misty Storm Wanderers.
"Sometimes they were almost beautiful, if you didn't think about the repercussions of their collective presence, about how they were just one big walking signpost that read it has all gone to shit and nothing can be good again".
Massive beings with various appearances, apparently existing to cause havoc and abduct humans for unknown reasons. Unlike other monsters, they exist in a much different reality.
- Animalistic Abomination: One resembles a worm, and another resembles a bizarre, multi-headed bird.
- Eldritch Abomination: Played straight for obvious reasons. They're a group of massive monstrosities whose mere presence wreck havoc on reality itself.
- Kaiju: These things are huge, and appear even bigger than Godzilla himself.
- Our Angels Are Different: Some of the Giants are implied to be angels of some sort that abduct "believers" to Heaven, such as the Wandering Faith.
- Token Good Teammate: The Giant from this post is the protector of her town.
Other Monsters
Smile Room
Smile Room
Say Cheese!
A cryptid resembling a giant, lipless mouth that manifests in buildings as a doorway in the hopes of catching unwary prey.- Demonic Possession: Implied with the Smile Room Host.
- Nothing Is Scarier: We don’t know what it is or what it does to its victims.
- To Serve Man: The Smile Room uses its abilities to lure humans into his mouth, though it is unknown if it actually eats them. It is quite likely though.
God of Roadkill
God of Roadkill
Calling all the little animals home.
A mysterious skeletal-like creature that escorts the souls of animals who have been hit by vehicles to the other side, while also taking vengeance on the drivers responsible for the death of said animals.- Anti-Villain: The Well-Intentioned Extremist variant. The creature only wants to protect animals from getting rammed by humans and escorts their souls to the other side....discounting the fact that most roadkill happen by accident and causing the drivers to die in a car crash is a bit too much.
- Body Horror: Considering what it’s the god of, it has an appropriately disturbing appearance. Its a mutilated, humanoid torso propped up with only its elongated arms and an overly long spine, with a head that’s little more than a beak-like formation clustered with eyes.
- Don't Fear the Reaper: Downplayed. He escorts the souls of roadkill to the afterlife and is benevolent to them, but will kill the drivers who ran over the animals even if it was accidental.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Always sad and enraged because animals are becoming roadkill daily.
- Nightmare Face: His "face", if you can call it that, is a beak-like structure littered with eyes.
- Psychopomp: Is said to carry the souls of all the murdered animals into the afterlife immediately after their death.

Mr. Bag

- Sealed Evil in a Can: It's imprisoned in the red room, presumably to protect the outside world from it.
The Worm of the Red Court
The Worm of the Red Court
- Monster Clown: It's said to be a cosmic medieval court jester, and it looks horrific.
Anxious Dog
Anxious Dog
Not the kind of Scooby you'd wanna solve mysteries with.
A strange creature with an eyeless face, who is said to be just as likely to tear you to pieces as it is to roll on its back. Appears as a large white greyhound to anyone it isn't hunting.- Eyeless Face: They don't appear to have eyes.

Country Road Creature
Country Road Creature
Don't take the back country road home.
A cryptid that tends to be spotted in back country roads, though it is capable of leaving these areas if it is hunting for food.- Nightmare Face: His face heavily resembles that of a malnourished old man.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Its human disguise retains the monster's signature long clawed hands and the disguise itself looks very pale.
- Trouble Follows You Home: Can follow its victims back to their houses, if one picture is any indication.
Milkwalker Ambassador
Milkwalker Ambassador
- Non-Human Head: Similarly to Siren Head. It has a milk carton for a head.
