[snip] Hmm, after reading your descriptions, I'm reminded of my young days when I was fascinated with fantastical monsters. I drew up monsters for the 26 capital letters in the alphabet (mainly based on the appearance of the letters, similar to your descriptions) as well as for the 10 digits. (I was too analytical to go beyond single-digits though. :-P) Most of these creatures were not-very-original variations on the same theme, and admittedly quite childish, so I won't post their descriptions unless people are *really* interested. :-P (Of course, I also had an entire saga based on these creatures, with a grand dramatic storyline unfortunately greatly lacking in details.)
