On the day she was supposed to marry local weatherman Derek Dietl, Susan Murphy is hit by a meteor from outerspace. This somewhat meek and unassertive small town girl is suddenly five stories tall and unimaginably strong. Despite her size and strength, she doesn't see herself as a monster, and desperately wants to return to her previously uneventful life. But as she's thrust into a series of extraordinary circumstances with the other monsters, she comes to realize that the true source of her power is the strength of her character.
Half-ape, half-fish, The Missing Link is the missing link between prehistoric man and our undersea ancestors. The ancient fish man was in the process of evolving - basically from his lagoon to the shore - when he was hit smack by the Ice Age and instantaneously frozen. Eons later, he was thawed and tried to return to his lagoon, unfortunately it was now a resort and he had no choice but to terrorize the patrons. After 50 years in a secret military prison, he's still full of macho bravado but he soon discovers he's seriously out of shape.
The amorphous and semi-opaque B.O.B. is the resulting cross between a genetically-altered tomato with a chemically-altered, ranch-flavored dessert topping. He is an indestructible gelatinous guy with an insatiable appetite. BOB might not have a brain - literally, he has no brain - but he is the heart of the team, even though, technically he doesn't have a heart either. He may not be the brightest monster around but in the end it's BOB who has the simplest and smartest plan.
During an experiment intended to endow humans with the genetic longevity of a cockroach, a teleportation device malfunctions (as they often do). Luckily, the brain of the ingenious, if slightly mad scientist is left intact, but sadly, inside the head of a giant cockroach. Dr. Cockroach, Ph. D., is a man/cockroach of sophistication and charm, if easily distracted by rotting food. He is capable of building ingenious things. Sadly, like his teleportation device, they usually have a few unfortunate side effects.
