Nice one Simic. I like how you spell out USA, Mexico and Canada for the geographically challenged.
I had “North America” too but took it off.
Love the contrast. Great little characters.
As a resident of a desert state, I really love that we get the Dune Sandworm for our monster <3
What is the monster in Michigan?
That is actually the sandworm from Tremors. But, they do look the same
That’s the Loveland (Ohio) Frogman… but I imagine they move around.
You got it!

The biggest problem that I came across was that most of the monsters were just spin-offs of Bigfoot and Nessie. Or they were all clustered in the North East, while the rest of the map was empty. So, I had to improvise to make it more interesting.
You missed my mother-in-law. Yuk, yuk, yuk.
There is a little mother-in-law in all of them.
