When did the plush monster doll trend begin? Ten years ago?
There are many companies making these kinds of things, and the dolls are usually cute and quirky and fun, but The Monster factory stands out to me. The dolls seem more distinctive than other companies' dolls and something about the shapes and the eyes make them more expressive.
And I really liked the video below.

"Elton John's Rocket Pictures hopes to make the first Jane Austen adaptation to which men will drag their girlfriends."
"The movie “Pride and Predator,” directed by Will Clark and written by Mr. Clark with Andrew Kemble and John Pape, will juxtapose brooding aristocrats with a brutal alien that lands in 1800s-era Britain, attacking residents and leaving them with neither sense nor sensibility."

Cryptozoology
January 16, 2004 - 12:36am — matt (not verified)Primate-ish:
Bigfoot (Sasquatch)
Yeti (Abominable Snowman - and how would YOU like to be called 'abominable'?)
Oliver ('Oliver'?)
Other kinds:
Loch Ness Monster (Nessie)
Chupacabra (some kind of giant bat?)
Mokele-Mbembe (a dinosaur of the non-extinct variety)
cryptozoology.com has a glossary with a whole lot more, including the 'windigo', an 'Algonkin sub-arctic zombie'.
The only I thing I'm certain about regarding these creatures is: if they do exist, they smell really bad
