   """/ /   * Remember they must fit inside each box with their name below

Any one else want to try their creative talents and fill in some of the other
boxes with monsters pictures they came up with, and share them with us?

Ya, stalagmite would have been more appropriate!  :->

Well, not really. It would have been entirely incorrect. :)
But what's a stalactite monster? It's not in my bestiary.

The trick I remember is from a long time ago, some teacher told us a
way of remembering which is which- go by the c and the g: a stalaCtite
sticks tight to the Ceiling, while a stalaGmite goes up from the Ground.

>But what's a stalactite monster? It's not in my bestiary.

I saw it in some D&D book some time ago (Monster Manual?)... It looks
like a stalactite, and might have some treasure underneath it as bait-
when you walk underneath it, it drops on you, piercing through and most
likely killing you. Then I guess it'll eat you or something... :> Don't
ask me how it gets back up there, though... :>

Yes, I had a suspicion. That sort of thing might be deviating from the
original request, though.. Sounds more of a trap than a monster..
