I wish they knew less than us. It makes me feel slow.
Just kidding.

Those are three separate scratches though because they don't line up with each other.

I don't buy how those scratches are the creature and she could still be alive. If it takes two people to hold back the door against it, you think it's reasonable that she just stood there while some creature took three clean swings at her?

I think those scratches are damage from the environment: debris and dangerous conditions.

I agree that those scratches are from debris. But I still think something has to happen when they are underground that involves creatures smaller than the monster.

I really want to know what is behind that door.

I don't know, I think the smaller creatures theory could be right. At first, I figured they'd reproduce like the Xenomorphs from Alien; the sound from when one of the girls was in the tent with the Hazmat crew sounded something like a chestburster. I'm not saying it's exactly the same, but close.

It is not, it's two deep scratches and a smear of blood that might be a third, lighter scratch.

The two deep scratches aren't even parallel.

I think another good reason for there being smaller creatures is that in oen of the trailers Rob says, "If we stay here we die, if we stay in the tunnels we die, if we go out on the streets we die." Obviously the monster is HUGE and cannot get down into the subway, so there must be things that are penetrating the subway and killing people.


Or, as the monster is so massive if it steps on the bit of subway they're in there's a risk of collapse.

This still isn't proof of smaller monsters.

What if our monster has tentacles which come at whoever says that quote from different angles?

Hardcore proof of little monsters would be seeing a glimpse of smaller monsters in a clip.

I'm keep visualizing Sin-spawn, FFX-styled. Which goes rather well with the water-beast theory, seeing how parasites tend to live of huge oceanic creature bodies.

Not sure thats where I'd put my two cents, but its still the image I'm stuck with.

they wouldn't show the smaller creatures if they resemble the larger one. besides common sense tends to push more to the side that there will be other monsters involved, but if for whatever reason we're wrong and the little monsters aren't in the movie. oh well! it's not like it will be the only thing we were wrong about, this whole experience has spawned so many diffrences of opinion and points of view. in fact i would laugh my ass off if the movie is completely diffrent than what we have put together so far.

Robs Going to Japan! And it'll be a Monster of a Party!

Not to be that guy, but the whole "giant monster destroys major city" thing has been done as well. Why is it less stupid this time, and why will it be stupid if they borrow from another established monster movie tradition?

Just because. Very Happy

Nah seriously, IF there are little monsters, I wouldn't be against the idea ONLY if they are a very very minor part of the overall plot.

I think with what we've been presented with so far, it seems like there are smaller creatures of some sort. The main facts to me at least:

They are trying to keep something out. There can be no doubt about this. It's either a person, or a non-person. If it's a person, why in the hell wouldn't they put their foot in the door, and their arm? I would. Any intelligent person would. Ergo, I don't think it's a person. I doubt they'd look so terrified if it was a person, either. If it was one person, they wouldn't have to be trying so hard to shut it. If it were more than one, you'd definitely see someone trying to hold the door open, as any sane intelligent person would do. I don't see how it could be a human. So either an inanimate object (debris, and they are having trouble shutting it), or a creature of some kind. If it were debris, I doubt they'd look so terrified. And doesn't seem likely.

And the "They came out of nowhere" blurb if you do a search on Google. Why that line? Debris? Please, it's not debris. Debris if flying off of building, or through the air, doesn't come "out of nowhere." People are smart enough to know that debris can come from anywhere, and I doubt would make a comment to that effect. Moreso, I doubt they'd quote it as a main search term on Google, if it were debris, that'd be stupid, akin to someone yelling "let's run this way!" They wouldn't.

So it's either they want us to THINK there are smaller creatures, or there are. The only thing I could think would prompt such a comment would be something suprising. Like say, the jets that flew very close to them. I think that would prompt a "they came out of nowhere" comment from a person. Or perhaps a bunch of soldiers that burst into the scene. I could see that prompting that sort of response. But not much else. It's plural. And they made a point of making making this comment stand out. So either it's a line about planes or something, and they are trying to mislead us, or there really are smaller creatures.

And lastly, they are running from stuff in the park and in the subways. And the tunnels are considered dangerous for some reason. Either because they might collapse, or there is something dangerous in them. The stuff they are running from produces a "whirring" sound from what people have said, but regardless, it's obvious they are not running from a larger creature in that scene.

They are certainly providing screenshots and comments that would lead us to believe there are smaller creatures. I guess the real question is would they try to fool us?
