MONSTERS

A SPOTTER’S GUIDE!

Grover always says the less you know about them, the fewer monsters you attract. But surely it helps to know when to stay and fight it out and when to just get the hell out of there.

Can you tell your rancid-smelling Minotaur from your bitter and twisted empousai? Take this quiz and find out if your knowledge is godly or merely mortal.


     Which one of these is NOT a feature of the bull-man (okay, Minotaur then)? a.  Manicured fingernails b.  Two black-and-white horns c.  A huge, long snout d. Coarse brown fur       Don’t be fooled by the  empousai cheerleader outfits. They cover skin that is:a.  As white as chalk b.  Freckly c.  Sun-kissed d. Baby soft       Drakons. Sound familiar, right? But they’re only, like, several millennia older than dragons. What colour are their eyes? a.  Yellow b.  Blue c.  Green d. Pink       How big is the greatest monster of them all, Typhon? a.  As tall as the Empire State Buildingb.  As tall as a football pitch c.  As tall as Big Ben d. As tall as a centipede       The Clazmonian Sow bears a striking resemblance to which farmyard animal? a.  A pig b.  A cow c.  A horse d. A chicken       I’ll be honest with you, the  dracaenae aren’t a pretty bunch. As well as having green scaly skin, instead of legs they have…a.  Double snake trunks b.  Tree trunks c.  Table legs d. Tin cans       How many eyes does a Cyclops have? a.  One b.  Two c.  Four d. Sixteen       Instead of regular fingers like you and me, what do the Furies have? a.  Talons b.  Feathers c.  Drawing pins d.  Sausages  These are only a handful of the millions and millions of beasts out there trying to kill me, but if you answered mostly As, then it sounds like you don’t need my help at all.
