INTRODUCTION Somewhere in an unknown location inside the United States, a collection of Monsters spends their days in captivity. This ragtag group consists of the 49feet-11-inches tall Ginormica; the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. When the alien Gallaxhar decides to invade Earth, we soon find out that these Monsters may just be Earth’s only hope.
