"The hollow earth"

Film: Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)

Alias: Giant Dimetrodons, Giant Tegus

Type: Ancient

Location: Ocean/Underground

Height/Weight: About as big as trucks, the lot of them.

Affiliation: Neutral

Summary: Hey, kids, did you know there's a massive ecosystem under our feet? We didn't either. And now that we're there, we're a tad disappointed that the amount of fauna there is rather minimal. But no less dangerous, that is.

History: Snaefellsjokull, the giant dormant volcano in Iceland, is said to be the passageway to the Earth's mighty interior. And it didn't take long for the folks on the surface to find that out. When a group of intrepid explorers went there, they were greeted with mushroom forests, ruins of ancient civilizations, a freaking ocean, and giant carnivorous reptiles. In short, fun-filled trip.

Notable Kills: None.

Final Fate: One of the Dimetrodons is fatally impaled in the neck by a spear, causing his friends to turn their attention and cannibalize him, and the Giant Tegu is swept away by lava from a volcanic eruption.

Powers/Abilities: The Tegu is equipped with a very long tongue.

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 3-While easily defeated, it's hard not to be afraid of these massive bulky beasts. Even that slow Tegu can get you from a distance with its tongue!

Trivia: -Dimetrodon is not a dinosaur, but a "Synapsid", or "mammal-like reptile".

-The Tegu was advertised as a "Giant Chameleon". Just...no.

"So, wait. An ACTUAL volcano just erupted behind us?"

Depressing or magnificent? You make the call.

The day Mt. Vesuvius up and blew its top again.

With this much chaos abound, how has the Earth not blown up yet?




"Alright, slaves! PUSH!"
Oh, and he wrote a bunch of other stuff.

"Folks, I feel left out for some reason."

Not the MK tower, guys.


The Giant Tegu a.ka. The Giant Extra
Aw, crap. You just killed the Earth.

"Look at that guy getting ganged up by reptile abominations! Looks fun!"

Don't worry, Tyranids. Youre time will come.


Want a distraction? Throw a dead guy in there.
