Description
""When that hundred shatters, there'll be ten thousand of them. The third cycle will create a million. Unless we stop them, they'll spread over the whole countryside."

Next up we have The Monolith Monsters from 1957! Like the Saucermen, this will be another short write up, as this is another design that is essentially the same as the original. While in the case of the Saucermen it was difficulty in finding a new design for a classic, for this I couldn't really see any other way to do this than how the original approached it. In hindsight, I guess I could have made the crystals into more bizarre shapes, but it's fine since I think the original is such a fascinating and unique concept anyhow! Plus, It gives me an excuse to draw something a little outside my ordinary designs, which is always fun.

The only real change I made is in how the Monoliths interact with living things. Rather than an easily reversible petrification, the crystals now infect living beings and begin to sprout out of them. The infected then become zombie-like, trying to spread the crystals to other living creatures so the crystals can spread and feed. However, the crystals will eventually completely consume the body, creating a crystalline statue from which more Monoliths will sprout and spread. This one would also fit fairly nicely into TriZen as is, though I'd have to decide whether I want them to stay as an alien threat or be spawned from Behemoth.
