Animal and monster avatars

While exploring SL with a monster event coming up, I discovered a wonderful place full of the most amazing avatars i had ever seen.
The place was called Grendels Children and when asked the creator had this to say about it;
---In lore, Grendel's children are of many races considered 'monsters'. They hail from a far away isle, where Grendel, god of the monsters, lives and sleeps beneath. His children are his chosen monsters who have lived, still live or have lived there, under his watch.In Second Life, it's a slice of history from us, and mostly our rather strange shop name, since we do things that aren't like alot of places! Could say we have a monsterous technique....

There are about 290 avatars available in all shapes and sizes the largest being the elder dragons (I have one of these and its fabulous and HUGE, sure takes some getting used to) and the smallest the insects and bugs, like the tarantula you see below or Psyra's tinies.
Before i tried these avatars I personally couldn't see the appeal


but now I realise they are great fun and very different, not all the avatars I tried out came from Grendel's children and if you want to try some out have a shop around this little gizmo avatar is extremely cute and sings when its tummy is touched.

I think one of the main reasons for going to Grendels children, apart from the huge choice, are the prices in fact as the owner said they would charge nothing if they could and as a group have decided to only charge enough to cover their costs.
The animals and mosters and of course pets that i saw there are of the highest quality and brought home to me the variation in styles in SL - you can be or look like anything you want with a little imagination and skill in scripting :)
