This probably isn't any help, but like I said it was a lot of fun. Post suggestions for additions or feel free to speculate the monster's nature on this thread.

I'll probably add more later, or maybe simplify the method of classification. I hope it's pretty self-explanatory, but feel free to ask questions.

If mods find this unnecesarry, feel free to lock.

EDIT: August 19 Added Hopping and Burrowing to means of transportation, added lion (thanks, Nitsujest) and panda (thanks, Dr. Panda, wicked handle, by the way. Pandas rule) to appearance, added vehicle to sentience list, added tripod to list of monsters

EDIT: August 20 Added 3 Unforum Cloverfield Monsters, some slight rewording

I see your OOG and I raise you an OT Wink

I like the idea of the monster classification index though... it'd be a nice challenge to see if anyone can come up with a monster not covered by this...

 		I, for one, would like to see "hopping" added to the transportation section. Thank you.

 		Burrowing/digging should be there too. Though I doubt it's this monster's main transport.

 		Added hopping and burrowing/digging to the means of transportation, and (regretfully Very Happy ) added lion to appearance. Thanks for the suggestions, I'm wide open for more. Oh, and thanks for the [OT], Giskard, forgot to add that, first thread and all. Embarassed

 		Yes! A new pic on the website! I can't believe it! And you can turn them over and there's names, plus a message!! omg [/sarcasm]

...I have been doing my part in the unforum warming crisis by not posting anything seeing as how there hasn't been any fucking updates from that bastard robot.

So, I return with Kudos to AfterDystopia (wicked handle too, btw), for a very thoughtful and time wasting thread. After all, I only check this forum and cloverfield news/rumours for updates, rather than the actual sites related to the film.

What I came up with for the 11808 monster is this:

1.5 - A - 5 - C - 4.12.15 - g - d - ???? (only that robot knows)

[the points between numbers are combos of said catagory]

I'm thinking this thing has got smarts (NY is the heart of US), attitude (tosses the SOL head) and a big ass (see teaser poster).

Please Mr. Abrams, wont you toss us a bone?

Until then, I'll be waiting in the halls for something substantial to gab about. Good day fellow posters.

Woah... a huge, indestructable, pyrokinetic, electromagnetic walking death monster from space. Now that would be awesome.

But don't forget smart. That's biggest kicker.

I can only dream; as well as hope Abrams & Co. have created something greater than my imagination.

But what do you think? I could easily argue that the monster isn't from space, but home-grown via the "history" page found on slusho.jp

-either way, this is fun and I love theorizing; which is what I'm gonna go tell Mr. Prick in the "you idiots play ARG's" thread.

I'm thinking that it's from this earth, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of space monster. I'm guessing mostly unintellignt, though... I'd love a classification of 4BEG5CF(4.6.9.11.15.18.19)eg-BCDOS. It's pretty long, though... Unlikely, but I think a pestilence-spreading, maddening emp-blasting snake-squid-dragon-hydra-slug is pretty nice. A non-humanoid monster would be a nice change.

Also, I just added a section for user-inspired monsters to the orignal post.
