Kraken:

Below the thunders of the upper deep;
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumber'd and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

The story of Gremlins was conceived by Chris Columbus. As Columbus explained, his inspiration came from his loft, when at night "what sounded like a platoon of mice would come out and to hear them skittering around in the blackness was really creepy."[6] He then wrote the original screenplay as a "writing sample" to show potential employers that he had writing abilities. The story was not actually intended to be filmed until Spielberg took an interest in it.[4] As Spielberg explained, "It's one of the most original things I've come across in many years, which is why I bought it."

Toughest decision yet.

I'll have to go with the Kraken, Cthulhu's wingless stepbrother. I can't use the name Teuthida and not vote for the squid.

Mmm, cheese and krakens.

Time to rally, Gremlins! Once Mohawk gets out there, it's all over.

The furby picture loses it for the gremlins.

Rofl, if I had known it was 6-1, I might have given the gremlins a pity vote.

I just noticed the description for gremlins in the poll.



I almost wish I voted for them.
