The Lesser Kiki
"It attaches itself to a banana tree and waits for a human/animal to pluck and eat one of the bananas on its back. When this happens, the creature’s energy is drained away for the rest of the day and cannot move. And another two bananas grow on its back." Photograph: Public domain
Arborial Hogjacker
"The lamp-like eyes have adapted for seeing their prey. Like those on a squirrel, his long claws enable him to climb rapidly up trees. Hogjackers stalk and devour hedgehogs then wear their spiney coats for protection. He has a rat tail for extra balance." Photograph: Public domain
Siamese or Cuckoo Dragon
"This small aggressive creature lives in woodland and eats mainly birds and squirrels. It lays a single egg in an occupied birds nest. When the chick hatches it eats the other eggs and the parent birds. The two heads have separate personalities and can occasionally be seen bickering with each other." Photograph: Public domain
Garbage Goblin
"Garbage Goblins are rather mean-hearted creatures. They dwell and tunnel their way into rubbish dumps. For example, if an old car gets dumped the goblins will cover it with rubbish and live in it. They use whatever they find." Photograph: Public domain
"This creature lives down the plug hole and eats all the dead skin and soap from the bath. It has suckers to help it move and a sticky tongue. It is blind and comes out at night. If you happen to see it, it turns into gas and you will faint and won’t remember the next day." Photograph: Public domain
The Srunchaloltamunster
"He lives in dark corners. It feeds on really useful household objects. Giant spit bubbles shrink its food which it then lobs on to spikes for storage. Later he eats his meal. Weeks later, the waste pops out as old socks." Photograph: Public domain
Colourful Colin
"Colin sucks people’s brains out, when they drink coffee or eat cake from the coffee and cake machine. Favourite colour: all of them. Where it lives: in a dark damp cave with slime and drains in it. Good habit – he likes playing with his mates. Bad habit – he spits at people." Photograph: Public domain
The Krarkenzarke Murtenoid
"The stuff on its back is seaweed. It goes crazy if it smells beer. It eats squirrels, mice, small rats and rabbits. It lives in burrows under trees and tree stumps. It can climb trees. Height at shoulders 50cm." Photograph: Public domain
Tree hugger
"The tree hugger lives in a hole in a tree in the forest. It helps lost children. It hides by hugging the tree and showing its back that looks like bark. When it helps the children they are not scared because it has a colourful tummy and likes to burp." Photograph: Public domain
"My creature is called Horg. He has a grumpy nature and his bad habits include attacking all strangers that come in his territory. It lives in Hordi and eats only meat. Its habitat is off the Bottey roundabout." Photograph: Public domain
The hairgobbler
"It is 25mm long. It is very hairy. This creature flies around, landing on middle-aged men’s heads. It crawls around to either the forehead or the crown, then uses the pincer on its tail to pull out the hairs. Then it eats all the hairs up! And this is the reason men go bald." Photograph: Public domain
"It is the king of all ivy creatures. His people are only up to his chest and humans are only up to his leg. He is about 100 years old. He can grow about 15 metres tall. At day he transforms into a piece of ivy." Photograph: Public domain
Nargle
"They are extremely rare. This makes them incredibly hard to find. Natural objects hanging from trees or decoratively tied to bushes may be a sign of Nargles. They can blend into overgrown shrubbery easily due to their twig-like features. Although they look harmless, they have a very sharp nip." Photograph: Public domain
Linnow
"He eats chocolate and porridge and when no one is looking PVA glue. He hates broccoli and baths. I found him in the shed in my garden. He sleeps in my bed and is very cuddly but when he dreams he does smelly farts." Photograph: Public domain
Razorpoog
"It is found in rural areas living in dense bushes for camouflage and protection against predators. In winter their hibernation nests breaking are what makes the crunching noise when you walk through frosty leaves. The ones that survive wreak revenge in summer after mating season by biting unsuspecting passersby." Photograph: Public domain
The Wiggly Dufaluf
"The Wiggly Dufaluf licks spots off ladybirds and drinks sunlight. It lives under pear trees and leaves. It sneaks into people’s houses and steals some yogurt to make a nest and with it disguises itself as a pear. If they want to have babies they have to eat wood. They live forever." Photograph: Public domain
The Chompergander
"Where it lives: Volcano Island
Bad about it: It's got loads of teeth
Good about it: It sleeps in the afternoon at 2 o'clock
Nice or nasty: It's the nastiest creature in the world" Photograph: Public domain
The Silver Tongued Voleur
"The size of a small child, this agile creature inhabits silver birch forests and adores silver. Its silvery tongue licks stolen objects from travellers. Its scaley body wraps around them, creating a fiery furnace. The fan-like tail cools the now silver objects which are used to decorate its home." Photograph: Public domain
The Snarglewhip
"It lives in garden ponds and the top of its head is shaped like a lily pad. The creature is made to be environmentally friendly. When someone throws litter into the pond its tentacles extend and grab the rubbish out from the pond and whip the rubbish up, back at the person. It senses the rubbish with some long, red eyelash-shaped sensors on its head." Photograph: Public domain
Wappersnapper
"It lives underground in Australia. It likes to eat little ants. It uses its long arms to get the ants. It uses its trunk to suck up the ants. The Wappersnapper only eats ants and only drinks water. It is friends with the fairies." Photograph: Public domain
