"On the day I was created, I was abandoned. I never intended to be a monster. As soon as I was created, I had a lot of questions about this world. I just could not satisfy my curiosity by myself, so I turned to my creator, Victor. But he thought of me as a dirty rag, and just tossed me out, without a second thought. I was enraged, if your parents left you to die after you were born would not you too? So I continued with my life, wondering aimlessly in the forests of Switzerland. It was peaceful, but it was hard to find food and water. But then I hit a village. I was so hungry; I grabbed food sitting on the windowsills. Until the people found me and chased me off. Then I wondered in the forests and I found the De Larcy family. I learned more from them than I could ever imagine. They taught me French and everything about human manners and customs. I felt so happy. I even entered their house to hope I could be a part of them, but they kicked me out. So then I wondered around again, in sorrow. I finally ended up in Geneva and I killed Victor’s brother in great rage. I ran away. I later meet up with Victor again back in the mountains. I told him my story and I told me I would not harm him if he would just make me a girlfriend, and I would have eternal happiness. Of course, he agrees of course and starts making one. But right as he finish, he killed her. He killed the one thing that would have brought me eternal happiness! It is not enough that he puts me in a horrible life, but he ensured that I would never be happy! I wanted to return the favor, and I killed his best friend Clerval. I swore vengeance on him, and I was going to keep it. So shortly after his wedding, I kill his wife Elizabeth. I wanted to make sure that his life would be in the same misery as he has forced me to live through. I then followed him; until I found out he was dead. My flaming hate for him was still in my heart. My hatred turned into depression of his lost soon afterwards. I vowed to die in the same placed where I had caused his death. I lived in a cave in the Frozen Arctic as long as I could. I was on the verge of death when META rangers found me. The reason why I was a raging monster is because of the fact that I was abused, neglected, and abandoned. I do not mean to be mean. I just want some to love, care for me, and always be there when I need them."

"You think that being a beast is easy? Well think again. I mean, we are living things too and we need food just like you guys. When humans go around hogging all the livestock around, we get pretty mad. We do not want to die from hunger, okay? That is why we eat your livestock; you have got to save some for us. Please we are begging you! All I want is some cow and sheep meat, and you take that away from me? All of this and you still wonder why I was hostile. It was a must for my survival. I was on the edge of starvation when META rangers found me in my Southwestern cave. I am thankful to this day that they provide me with the resources I need."
Yeti/Abominable Snowman

" I am just a regular creature living around in the mountains of the Himalayas. I personally like to live alone and live away from humans. Some people however try to invade my privacy and they keep trying to get photos of me. It frightens me when they do that. Seriously, how would you like it if someone was trying to take pictures of you so that they could prove you are real? I am pretty sure you would call it stalking and sue the person. So please, stop with the photos. Just climb the mountain if you need to. Take your pictures at the peak of the mountain and send them to your best friends, but please stop with me. The snow is already enough. I freeze every winter. I eat the snow for a living. What other crazy creature would dare living in the cold Himalayas? No one. That's right. No one. I was risking my life day in and day out, only to be visited by humans. I almost froze to death at the bottom of my mountain, but humans were still crowding around me taking pictures. This was when Nepalese META rangers rescued me. I still wonder what might of happened if I stayed frozen."
"Nessie"- The Loch-Ness Monster

"Like most creatures, I was hatched from an egg. I was born into this wonderful world quite peacefully. However, only one of my species is allowed to live at once, so I have to learn things by myself. But today, it is harder for me to live than my previous generations. Not only do I have a privacy problem like the Yeti and Bigfoot, but the water is now getting polluted. All this water pollution is killing the fish, my only food source and it is also affecting me as well. It is like being put in a gas chamber while your stomach is shriveling up causing you great pain and utmost suffering. Please, do not pollute the water; it’s bad enough as it is. In fact if you could help clean the water, that would be nice too. Global Warming really affected me. At least the Polar Bears in Alaska had PETA to depend on. I was hopeless. But then META rangers rescued me after I washed ashore. And also, if you want to take pictures of me, take pictures. I float around on the water's surface a lot, but your minimal amount of pictures make it seem like i'm some sort of phenomenon."

"I am pretty much like Yeti, except I live in the forests. I like it there, nice scenery, good temperature, and it is very relaxing. However, I hate how there are hikers and campers in the forests. I mean, some of them are nice, but some just have no sense of responsibility and they trash the forests and burn them down like it is no big deal. Seriously, that is not cool. I would charge them of arson if I could, because that is basically what it is. Also, some also even try to film me and get photos of me too. Cannot just burn and trash my place but you have to invade my privacy, I mean really, cut it out! Well…do not cut out the forest, but cut out your actions! Oh, and do not get me started on those lumberjacks! I use the lumber for my home. Yes, I have a home, just like you. Well, had a home anyways. A forest-fire sprung up one day, I ran as fast as I could. The smoke and fire was too impacting. I almost died of too much smoke in my lungs and respiratory system. I was found my META in a sewer system in a tiny village by the Amazon River. Luckily, I was able to survive thanks to META."
Cookie Monster

"My life is a pitiful story. All of my excitement was wiped away. At a young age, I always loved acting. Acting was my persona and my future. As a Cookie Monster Jr., I was excited to get into the show Sesame Street. The show had just started and showed promise of success. I became a muppet. It was amazing. Living in Queens, New York was the best time of my life. My popular phrases such as "Om Nom Nom Nom Nom" and "Me Want Cookie" became popular sayings by young people. But then terror struck. The show directors forced me to change my skin color to green and become the veggie monster. I hate vegetables, but they forcibly made me digest it every episode. Rumors spread about me being off the show entirely. My slogan changed to "Cookies are a sometimes food." No they are not. Cookies make the world go round. They are what drive the American soul. Human victory and human perseverance is and always will be driven by the succulent smell of chocolate chip cookies. Soon after, my new role had tortured me. META rescued me at the set one day and accused the directors of cruel treatment. I was saved. Now, I live in a habitat made of cookies. Cookie trees, cookie leaves, cookie ground, cookie rocks, and much more. I can't thank META enough for what they have done for me. "
Pikachu

"Pika Pikaaa. Just kidding. The common stereotype is that Pika is all I say. Wrong. I know English. I just act like I don't so that I look adorable and humble in the shows. Anyways, back on topic. They release me hour after hour to fight a fellow Pokemon. It's demoralizing and destroys ethics. I have to use 300 watts per lightning attack. It's impossible for a generator to produce that much in less than a second, but my owner expected me to do it in a jiffy. If I lost, I would have scars all over my body. Imagine a steel monster Head-butting you five feet into the ground. Next, they make me sleep in a little ball. What do they think I am, a rat. Sure my name translates to Thunder Rat in Japanese but I am at least 20 times bigger than a rat. They would at least put a plasma T.V. or beverages in there. But no, they refuse. I am tortured day in and day out. It's getting ridiculous. But, one day, I managed to escape before my owner could recapture me.I wandered the forest for weeks, feeding on berries. META found me beside a mountain in Johto, on the verge of fainting. They now take great care of me and provide me with electrical generators and a bigger home."

"Why does everyone insist that I love blood? It's not like I am obsessed with it. My kind needs blood to survive. It's not my fault. It is a must for me to drink blood, much like humans have to drink water. I can't ask you to let me bite your neck. That's why I lure young adults to my home. I can't help it. Also, why is everyone afraid of bats? We are just another type of animal. Just because we aren't birds doesn't mean we aren't sweet and chirpy like they are. We are normal animals, just flying around in caves. I realized that nobody liked me because of my blood. One day, Jonathon Harker attacked me. I fell off of my acstle's cliff to the ground. I had an hour max to live. META found me laying on a paved street in front of Transylvania. I now get fed blood every hour and am very happy in my new abode here at META's facility."
Pac-Man

"Sigh, it is tough being me. I am stuck in a perpetual maze because of the crimes I did. I survive by gathering food off the ground and eating them. Lucky, if I eat up all the food, I get teleported to a new maze. However, four ghosts are constantly chasing me, they scare me because they threaten to capture me and kill me ever so painfully for their enjoyment. They say that they would suck my soul out of me, and ensure that I shall never remain on this world. Because of them I cannot sleep at night, I must always be on guard and eating. Fortunately, there are some foods that make me invincible and with that I chase the ghosts away. However, the effects are only temporary, and the ghosts always come back. My life is endless misery…"

"So yeah, I am one of the ghosts that chases Pac Man. But it is not like I have no reason. You see, before I was a ghost trapped in a maze, I was a human. It was a great life, and the greatest thing about it was my girlfriend. She was the cutest thing. We would share everything and we did everything together. Our love was like no other, we cared for each other deeply we understood each other, and we were soul mates. But one day, our country was invaded. I did everything I could to save her, I ran with her to the nearest train station to leave the country armed with just a pistol. However, the opposing army was advancing faster than we could run. I finally turned around with my gun and I shouted to her, “Run to the train!!! Do not worry about me, just go!!!” She did as told and got on the train, as for me, I shot at the invaders with everything I could, but they shot a bullet through my heart, I was now forever separated from my true lover. I cried so hard I could have created rivers, but as I died I was transported to this maze. All alone, except for a Pac Man. A random voice said to me, “If you catch him and bring me his soul, I will give you and any other ghosts that come here your lives back.” Oh, I loved her so much; I would have done anything to see her again. So I chased him, at first alone, but then I was join by the rest of my team, Speedy, Bashful, and Pokey. Together we try to catch Pac Man and get our lives back. But personally, I do not just want my life back, I want to hold my lover in my arms again…"
