List of The Asylum Monsters

The list containing many of the prehistoric animals, genetic mutations, invading aliens, robots, supernatural entities and other monsters created in various films from The Asylum in various years.

Martians

Appeared in the 2005 movie H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds (a.k.a. Invasion), an adaptation of the novel by H. G. Wells, and its 2008 sequel War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave. Escaping their inevitable extinction on Mars, they attempt to exterminate the human race with use of their "Squid Walkers", walking machines armed with a menacing Heat-Ray. When humans failed to stop their first invasion, the aliens died of common diseases to which humans are immune. They attempt to invade again two years later with their tripod cyborg machines, only to be defeated by human efforts by taking the battle to their home planet where the mothership was destroyed.

They are based on the Martians from the novel of the same title by H. G Wells, but instead of resembling an octopus, they resemble a kind of insect. In War of the Worlds their fighting machines have six legs resembling a crab, but in the sequel they are far more visually faithful to the Tripods of the novel and other film versions.

Lost World Inhabitants

Lost World Ape

Appeared in the 2005 movie King of the Lost World, a loose adaptation of The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is estimated to be over fifty feet high and had an appetite for meat as it ate a flight attendant in the beginning of the movie. It eventually died in a nuclear explosion. The creature is clearly inspired by the King Kong character, but no such giant ape appears in Conan Doyle's The Lost World.

Amazon Scorpions

Appeared in the 2005 move King of the Lost World. Very similar to their real world counterparts, they live in caves and aggressively attack with their stingers on their tails. They could be based on the prehistoric giant scorpion pulmonoscorpius.

Amazon Dragons

Appeared in the 2005 movie King of the Lost World. They are mammalian creatures resembling lions with bat wings and serve as Lost World Ape's rivals for food.

Aneh-Tet

Appeared in the 2005 movie Legion of the Dead. An ancient pharaoh that once ruled Egypt with an iron fist she uses her minions of undead mummies to assist her wherever she goes. She is portrayed by Claudia Lynx while her mummies are played by Eddie Beasley, Elissa McKee, and Feldo Nartapura with Mark Heller portrays their field commander, General Alose.

Velku

Appeared in the 2005 movie Shape Shifter. Hailing from Romania, this satanic werewolf-like entity serves as a crime lord's body guard and the plot of the movie involves Velku trying to save him from prison while [...] everyone else. Most of Velku's body is invulnerable, but can be killed if stabbed in the heart. His human form is portrayed by Vaz Andreas while the costume actors were Thomas Downet and Joel Hebner.

Alma

Appeared in the 2006 movie Snakes on a Train. She was a Mexican woman given a Mayan curse that forced her to vomit highly aggressive and carnivorous snakes until she ate them. After doing so she would turn into a gigantic boa constrictor. Her human form is portrayed by Julia Ruiz.

Supercroc

Appeared in the 2007 movie Supercroc. Roughly 75 feet long this giant mother crocodile is a descendant of her large ancestors and guarded a nest in California. She had armor thick enough to withstand two bunker buster missiles and was eventually killed when C4 was detonated at her throat.

Z-Bots

They appeared in the 2007 movie Transmorphers and its prequel Transmorphers: Fall of Man. The Z-Bots are from a distant planet and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most z-bots are roughly human-sized while one was several hundred feet tall.

In the prequel they produced an electromagnetic wave that caused Earth's machinery into rogue agents. The most notable was a truck that used its axles as machine guns, flamethrowers and rocket launchers. This particular z-bot agent is affectionately referred to by fans as "Axlebot". The robots are known more commonly in the films as "The Machines".

Viral Mutants

Appeared in the 2007 movie I Am Omega. These creatures are mutants created by a flesh eating virus that evolved to give its host infectious properties and turned them into zombie-like hunters. The virus slowly eats away at their flesh, exposing their spines and other bones structures. They have a hive mind and their teeth, claws and blood are highly infectious. The film is based on the novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.

Spideroid Aliens

From the 2007 movie AVH: Alien vs. Hunter. Two of these half-humanoid/half-spider hybrid creatures arrived via meteorite. The Hunter tracked them down and slayed one, while the other escaped and began [...] humans for food. It was killed when humans used the Hunter technology against it.

The Spideroid Aliens are noted for their deliberate resemblance to the creature from the Alien franchise, though they are green rather than black. They can travel at great speeds on their spider legs. The creature was criticized for the poor CGI animation.

Hunter

Appeared in the 2007 movie AVH: Alien vs. Hunter. This masked human-like alien is obsessed with hunting lower species, including humans and the Alien. Despite being promoted to looking like a Predator from the Predator franchise, the armor appears far similar to the titular monster from Zeiram. Hunter is portrayed by Rob Filson.

Mizuchi

Appeared in the 2008 movie Monster. Very little is known AbOUT this creature other than its name, meaning "Dead Water". Only three tentacles are ever seen. It moves fast enough underground to cause earthquakes.

Big Red

Appeared in the 2008 movie 100 Million BC. A 60 foot long and 20 foot tall Carcharodontosaurus from 70 Million BC, Big Red was accidentally brought into the present day, going on a rampage through Los Angeles. He was eventually teleported back to his own time, where he was trapped in a cliff and died.

Cretaceous Raptor

Appeared in the 2008 movie 100 Million BC. These velociraptors lived at 70 Million BC and were strong enough to carry off adult humans. They were also highly coordinated.

Cretaceous Swamp Beast

Appeared in the 2008 movie 100 Million BC. It is a crocodilian creature that survived in the ancient swamps and moved very little.

Megalists

From the 2008 movie The Day the Earth Stopped. They are extraterrestrial robots, 666 in all, who land in every major capital in the world. They do not start attacking, though. Instead, the benevolent, though hostile aliens controlling the robots present humanity with an ultimatum: Prove the value of human life before the sun goes down, or they will destroy the world. The robots spend most of the film standing in the same spot, and lethal force on armed humans is only used twice. They are armed with a device in the right hand which reduces targets into dust. They are also invulnerable to nuclear weapons, as one which was hit by a nuclear rocket emerges seemingly untouched; this scene May Be an homage to a similar scene in the 1953 film The War of the Worlds.

Due to the film's similarities to The Day the Earth Stood Still and it's 2008 remake, it is assumed the Megalists are loosely based on the character Gort, a robot which similarly provokes humanity's fear. Viewers will notice that the robots have a single, visor-like eye similar to Gort's. It is believed that the earth literally "stops" as prompted in the title, as scientists in the film believe that the Megalists are tilting the earth on it's ORBit. A mistake in the film's writing to notice is that the sun cannot go down if the earth does not move.

Mega Shark

Appeared in the 2009 movie Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus and its sequel Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus. Roughly 500 feet long, this ancient shark was fighting with a Giant Octopus until they were flash frozen in an iceberg. After being released from the ice the shark rampages across the Pacific. It fought both Giant Octopus and in the sequal the Crocosaurus.

In the second movie Mega Shark is revealed to be female. She has a difficult time using her senses in volcanic areas, due to electrical disturbances. The Mega Shark is criticized for its rapid size changes throughout the films, as well as the films' outlandish plots.

Giant Octopus

Appeared in the 2009 movie Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. In similar size to Mega Shark, Giant Octopus has a similar history except it roamed the western half of the Pacific, primarily attacking Japan. It died in the final battle with the Mega Shark, presumably through the loss of blood. It had notably less screen time than its co-star.

Caprona Island Natives

Various ancient animals from the island of Caprona in the 2009 film The Land That Time Forgot, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Scared Ones

A pair of tyrannosaurs that serve as the apex predators. The first is killed off with a grenade while the other is warded off with a petroleum Fueled explosion.

River Octopus

An octopus that lives near the river shore.

Meganula

Giant dragonflies that live near the river's banks; they are completely harmless.

Spiderlinks

Appeared in the 2009 movie Princess of Mars, an adaptation of A Princess of Mars, the first in the John Carter book series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. They are ten foot long spiders that prey on all life in the deserts of the fourth planet of the Alpha Centauri. There is another version living on the planet Mars. Scout variations have wings and locust-like traits. They are heavily inspired by the hopper bugs from Starship Troopers. Infants are about a foot long and many also possess wings.

Spring-Heeled Jack's Monsters

Appeared in the 2010 movie Sherlock Holmes, a film based on characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. These steampunk creatures were created by the film's antagonist Thorpe Holmes (Dominic Keating), Sherlock's estranged and vengeful brother, also known as Spring-Heeled Jack. The three monsters, a giant octopus, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and a dragon were built in Thorpe's attempt to destroy London and assassinate Queen Victoria. Detective Sherlock Holmes (Ben Syder) and his companion Dr. John Watson (Gareth David Lloyd) investigate the alleged monster sightings and spend much of the film tracking down the dinosaur as it steals certain mechanical devices used to build the dragon. The events of the film take place in 1891. The creatures are described in more detail below, with the names they are called within the film.

"The Sea Monster"

This gigantic octopus appears briefly at the beginning, taking down a Royal Navy treasury ship. It appears only once more towards the end of the film, on display in Spring-Heeled Jack's fortress.

"The Dinosaur"

Also known as the "Monster of Whitechapel", this small Tyrannosaurus Rex is first seen terrorizing Whitechapel, and then spends most of the film stealing materials from factories around Whitechapel, for further inventions. The creature is revealed to be artificial when Sherlock Holmes discovers that it's skin is made from rubber. It is roughly the size than an average man and is noted for its intelligence and speed, although it's snout is more similar to that of a baryonyx than a tyrannosaur.

"Dragon"

In the climactic battle scene, Spring-Heeled Jack created a huge mechanical dragon to set fire to London and frame Inspector Lestrade for committing his crimes. Unlike his other inventions, Thorpe pilots this monster and it is armour-plated instead of featuring synthetic skin.

Anesidora and Spring Heeled Jack

Thorpe Holmes also created a mechanical female accomplice named Anesidora Ivory. She appears as a beautiful middle-class Victorian human but has ice-cold skin and clockwork insides. She is programmed to pose as the niece of Thorpe's cover identity, and is given the job of destroying Buckingham Palace. Ivory is defeated by Watson, but is seen before the credits, in 1940. A pheasant wandering outside Thorpe's hideout is later revealed to be robotic as well, as it malfunctions and deactivates briefly as Thorpe activates his dragon. Thorpe himself can be considered one of the mechanical monsters, as he CREATES a bio-mechanical suit, vaguely resembling a Cyberman from Doctor Who, with 19th century steampunk touches. This copper suit allows him to overcome his paralysation (caused by being shot in the spine seven years earlier) and with this alter-ego he was affectionately named by the film's producers as Spring-Heeled Jack, named after the mythical folklore creature of the same name. After Holmes solves the case and defeats Thorpe, it is unknown what happens to his creatures. They are likely to have been hidden by Scotland Yard in an attempt to cover up the conspiracy.

Mega Piranha

Appeared in the 2010 movie Mega Piranha. Genetically mutated [...] machines, these fish double in size every 72 hours. They are extremely carnivorous, to the point of cannibalism. However, they have little intelligence as they often throw themselves onto dry land in attempts to eat smaller organisms. Once they reached the size of nuclear submarines they are inexplicably invulnerable to nuclear weapons. They are defeated when they are tricked into eating each other.

Cursed Island Monsters

Appearing in The 7 Adventures of Sinbad, various mystical creatures originate from an island in another dimension with the portal lying at the bottom of The INDIAN Ocean.

Giant Squid

A deep sea squid estimated to be over 200 feet long. Although seen at the beginning of the movie attacking an oil rig, it is later discovered to be just a curious animal. It serves as the portal's guardian.

Giant Dungeness Crab

A large crab encountered by Sinbad. It is eventually taken down after multiple pistol shots.

Rhamphorhynchus

Giant versions of the prehistoric flying reptiles of the same name, these animals capture Sinbad and his crew to feed to their young only for them to fight them off and flee into a cave.

Cave Cyclops

A twelve foot cyclops armed with a club that lives in a cave. It encounters Sinbad's crew and tries to fight them off until it is stabbed in the eye with a torch and dies by impalement on a stalagmite.

Fire Spider Demon

A pyrokinetic spider demon Sinbad encounters in an underground tunnel. Before it can do any real harm it is destroyed when Sinbad blows up a mountain using C4.

Crocosaurus

Appeared in the 2010 movie Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus. This giant monster is supposed to be roughly 50 feet long, despite appearing to be over 150 feet in some scenes. Originating in Africa, she is capable of producing hundreds of eggs at a time, can burrow underground, and has armor thick enough to withstand bites from Mega Shark with no visible damage.

According to game hunter Nigel Putman her young are roughly 25–30 feet long when hatched, but newborn babies can be from 60 feet upwards, indicating that some can grow to full adulthood within minutes in order to keep the species alive.

Moby [...]

Appeared in the 2010 movie Moby [...], an adaptation of the novel by Herman Melville. Roughly 600 feet long and swimming up to 360 kilometers an hour, this gigantic whale-eating creature primarily lived in arctic waters and existed as far back as 1969. According to the photographs and Michelle's estimates Moby [...] is around 500 feet in length and can swim at amazing speeds. Moby [...] also possesses the ability to crawl very quickly on land for a short period of time and in the beginning of the movie was able to absorb sonar waves to avoid detection; this is later proved useless against high-tech submarine sonars. Although hunted by the USS Pequod it was eventually able to take out the entire crew, sustaining little damage in the process.

Mega Python

Appeared in the 2011 movie Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. These pythons actually resemble boa constrictors and grew to at least 20 feet in length, thanks to experimental pheromones. Eventually mega pythons are seen to be over 120 feet long with their offspring already the size of normal Burmese Pythons.

Giant Alligator

Appeared in the 2011 movie Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. Unlike the gateroids that were the result of being fed steroid infected chickens, this giant American alligator was around long before the beginning of the story. It is estimated to be over 20 feet long. Hunters planned to shoot it, but it was attacked and killed by a mega python instead.

Gatoroid

Appeared in the 2011 movie Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. They are American alligators mutated by illegally being fed steroid injected chickens so they can be used to hunt mega pythons. Although usually around 20 feet long, they can grow to over 150 feet and their offspring are the size of normal American alligators.

It should be noted that their attack on Miami used footage from the Miami, Panama Canal, and Hawaii attacks from Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus.

Muspelheim Inhabitants

Mystical entities from Muspelheim in the 2011 movie Almighty Thor.

Muspelheim Jackal

Giant jackals commanded by Loki. Despite being very fast and have some armor plating they are easily taken out by close range weapons and have a rather bad sense of smell. They are estimated to be eight feet tall and eleven feet long.

Muspelheim Land Worm

Large lizard-like creatures with hammered heads and lacking legs while having arms to move around. Although stronger than the jackals they too are taken out by close range weapons. They are estimated to be ten feet long and twenty five feet long.
