Meet Some Funky Creatures!

don’t worry, they don’t bite!

Do you want to make distinct characters like these too? Simply fold a blank piece of paper into thirds, one for a head, one for a torso, and one for legs. Pass it to someone else once you’ve finished one section, but don’t let them see what you’ve done so far! Unfold after each part has been drawn to see what kind of being has been created! And, if you want, create some cool personalities for your creatures like we did!

Dream job: Developing a way to perform successful head transplants.
Day job: Traveling chef and founder of Bennett’s Traveling Table, founder of Aliens R Real
Salon of Choice: The Spot for Bots

Character 3)

Name: Gollum Goulash
Dream job: educating youngsters about Satanic studies
Day job: operating his florist’s shop in downtown San Francisco
Salon of Choice: Horn Care for Cattle and Other Creatures
Distinguishing Characteristics: Gollum is remarkably the only humanoid to have horns without also having a tail.

He also manages to have red-toned skin on his upper body, but green legs and feet.
Hobbies: trimming his horns, playing Twister with his buddies, and trying out different eyeliners.
