What do you guys think?


Those pics were discredited as being from something else two or three months ago. Too tired to find the link right now. But ask pretty much anyone thats been following things for a while and theyll agree on that. It was totally debunked


Debunked in September

I don't get "isopod" from anything we've currently seen. It roars, it kinda looks like a giant lizard in the one vague shot we've received, and it clearly has big claws. Isopod? How? (I do love me some giant isopods, though.)

While the monster may (and likely will) draw from real life creatures, I don't think they'd be going through all of this trouble to give us a super-sized version of any existing animal. It's gotta be a hybrid or something completely new.


i suggest you read every link in the 1st post... posted pictures and wikipedia links. it feeds of dead whales - when it reproduces its childs are fully evolved but way smaller than itself (could explain mini monsters).... just check the links please -.- also i said it is based on one... probably some isopod/whale/lizard hybrid

I have, and I think your theory is well thought-out, but just going on the visual/audio evidence we've been provided, it seems unlikely. (Plus, I think the monster needs to be menacing...throwing statue heads and the like...a giant Iso would be a scary sight, but it doesn't seem too inherently mean-spirited.)

 		posted by someone else in another forum but thats exactly my point -.-



----------------------------------

Laughing you sir have no imagination!!! I'm saying that I believe 110% that it's crab based but what part of "mutation" doesn't strike you as a possibility! Use your noodle and keep an open mind "outside the box".

 		Sculpted monster doesn't look very acquatic. How would it swim? Paddling its tiny shrunken back feet?

 		ok i quit explaining... if you have no immagination... its a fucking MUTANT ! could have whale features or whatever... normal isopods feed of dead whales.... who knows how it mutated ffs... maybe the whales ate slusho and made those guys mutate... whatever.... if you cant think outside the box.... i stop explaining -.-

 		Maybe something is based off an isopod, but I wouldn't even go as far as saying it would be shaped like any sort of isopod. Crustaceans tend to be very long (shrimp), or very wide (crab). If either was the case, I don't think it would be able to fit in the street, since the creature would be longer than it is wide, or wider than it is tall. There are no vertically oriented crustaceans, last time I checked.

Plus it appears to be green and the body doesn't seem to have that 'plated' look that crustaceans have.

If there's anything involving isopods or crustaceans, it's not the shape of the body.
