Colossus - Monster of the Month - February 2016
Creature and Story by Ed Edmunds - Released February 2016
In 2020, scientists looking for a deeper understanding of Earth's beginnings, drill a 50 foot hole, 40.000 feet below the surface of the Earth, when suddenly the drilling rig falls into the hollow Earth. Sending cameras on cables with lights, they see movement. Then the cameras short out and a gigantic human looking hand reaches out of the hole. Chaos erupts as security shoots at the hand. As it pummels the Earth and rips it away, a human looking creature of unimaginable size forces his way out of the Earth. While appearing completely human, the giant speaks in an unknown dialect, with little interest in the inhabitants of the planet. More of these behemoth creatures come lumbering around, destroying everything they step on. One of the giants is knocked unconscious when he steps on an electrical transformer facility that powers upper New York. The military and many scientists seize on this moment and cut into his frontal lobe to make the giant docile and set up a make shift lab in his cranium. They go to work trying to wire into the speech and reasoning centers of the brain with sophisticated consciousness penetrating equipment. Translators, scientists, therapists and military all go to work to break through to the giant. If successful, the team hopes to be able to get a message implanted into the giant's conscious mind for the crushing giants to return to the inner Earth.
Ed grew up loving monsters and sculpted his first full head mask at age 14. Lacking talent of any kind, he has. been forced to compensate. Using hard physical labor and working ridiculously long hours. Recently, Ed has been impeached and is currently planetless.
