coral sgraffito (she/they/he)
monster queen. queer cryptid. supernatural slut. coral has always had an impure interest in things that go bump in the night. she likes indie horror games, sparkly shit, anything citrus-flavored, and Hungry. she lovingly shares her 18+ art & writing on Patreon.
coral contributes, but she also curates and edits site content, so if you hate anything here, she’s the one to scream at… but please remember that she really loves open mouths.
Squiddle (she/her)
Professional herder of creative cats and hobbyist herder of real, bizarre cats. Squiddle runs a different creative business with her best friend, designing, printing, and peddling fun merch with themes including fandom, geekery, the supernatural, and of course, beefy pinups of the MCU trash. She lives in the PNW where there are definitely real cryptids and they sometimes set off the floodlight in her yard.
Squiddle runs the project flow and keeps the juicy monster content dripping off this site’s jaws .

Kit Crash (they/them)
They have 14,000 zombie cats and change their pajama pants once per week. The dentist refuses to implant working venomous fangs for them because “it’s not possible” and Nature has tried to destroy them with hurricanes every year and so far has failed somewhere upwards of 40 times.
Kit hunts down the best monster art generated by fascinated and/or horny humans that the internet has to offer.
sarcasm festival manifest (they/she)
Born under a cursed moon, too clever and deranged for polite society, SFM spends most of their time socializing with four-legged assholes that they find superior to two-legged assholes. Their heart is tattooed from the inside with grief and rage, and instead of writing this bio they would much rather take a candlelight bath in their cave in the woods, reading fiction in which not all the participants survive.
SFM is a rogue reviewer of fiction (and occasionally media that doesn’t make their eyes dilate like a cat watching a limping bird)
Calamity Drake (she/her)
Calamity lives on an island that has wild wolves, but that’s not enough for her: she goes swimming in the sea regularly hoping to find something magical, sentient, and violently hungry that wants to be her friend. Or maybe a one night stand, or maybe just a FWB kinda thing where they sometimes devour representatives of the patriarchy but sometimes they make out in a sea cave. You know, normal stuff.
Calamity Drake reviews fiction, film, and podcasts, often those recommended by her wacky bookclub or filthy friends.
po3 (he/him)
He hangs out in the overlap of the Venn diagram of “monsters” and “furry,” where everything he wants to date is probably going to try and devour him after they finish dessert. Fortunately, so far he’s been able to run fast enough. you can find more from him at straypaint.com.
po3 is responsible for much of the fun dorky content like quizzes and fantasy monster fights.
The opinions of each member of the team do not necessarily reflect the opinions of teratophilia.com, and the reverse is also true: the opinions of teratophilia.com don’t necessarily reflect those of the contributing members.
Teratophilia.com does have some collective opinions, though: we can only be who we are here because of legislation that supports privacy and freedom. Monsters have been an allegory for many things over the past ~40,000 years of human development, but in modern culture they usually represent the Other. If you want to protect this site, its content, and the other people who enjoy it along with you, make sure you’re supporting the real people who get labeled as “other.” Thank you!
We do not use generative AI, LLMs, or other machine learning bullshit. We did not use it in the code, we do not use it in our articles, and to the best of our knowledge, we do not promote AI images. Monsters are inherently a human concern, born of our fears and desires, and to use a machine-shaped prophylactic to engage with them would be like wearing a condom made of a car tyre. No thank you.
