A List Of Self-Improved Monsters
Trim Reaper: Suffering burnout from the emotional toll of his previous vocation and looking for a creative project to refresh his perspectives, the Grim Reaper now uses his scythe skills to give killer bangs.
Not Yeti: After being passed over again for a promotion, a colleague recommended the Yeti watch a TED talk about adopting a growth mindset. He now knows he’s not a failure, he just has not yeti reached his goals.
Drop-in Bear: A mid-life crisis and some career counseling helped the Drop Bear realize she wasn’t living a satisfying life. She no longer drops from trees on unsuspecting tourists in Australia. She now comes over just to say hi.
Boogieman: After mistakenly attending a music therapy group class, the Boogeyman reassessed his values. He now runs a small business of after school dance classes. He teaches all styles but his favorite is jazz.
Abdominal Snowman: After some concerning medical results, the Abominable Snowman has redirected his desire for munches into a desire for 3 x 10 sets of crunches.
Whywolf: A very convincing community college pamphlet persuaded the Werewolf to enroll in philosophy classes. She has a perfect attendance record, a distinction average, and hopes to one day be a professor.
John Locke Ness Monster: After reading a few seminal works by the Father of Liberalism, Nessie felt compelled to subscribe to his philosophies. Instead of a shadowy figure in the distance, she can be found by the shoreline promoting the three natural rights of humans (and monsters): life, liberty, and property.
The Sandpitman: Tired of putting people to sleep, the Sandman now leads a much more fulfilling life. He heads of the sandpit design team for an architecture firm specializing in kids’ playgrounds.
Which: After being confused too many times when asked ‘Which witch/wich/which is which?’ the Witch has cast her last spell and transformed herself into an online grammar blogger.
Dadbod Man: The birth of his first child forced Slender Man to reassess his priorities. He realized that spending time with his family was more important than his hobbies of scaring children and training for ultramarathons.
Julia: The Mummy is proud of being a mom, but knows she’s also so much more. She’s committed to not introducing herself as Jake’s mom to people who don’t know her son.
Next-To-Your-Bed Monster: With growing community sentiment that scaring children is no longer an acceptable pastime, the Under-Your-Bed Monster now sits next to your bed. Depending on your age she will either pat you to sleep, read you stories, or hold you as you weep because you just found out that Brad likes Sarah and not you.
Will Call You The Next Day: Feeling like he’s constantly being ignored and also embarrassed that his name is colloquially used to describe those who vanish after a date, the Ghost has decided to be proud of who he is. He has started by showing himself in public and if you go on a date with him, he will definitely call the next day.
