Countdown to Halloween Day 23: GROOT - MONSTER FROM PLANET X!



Tonight, we feature the Monarch of Planet X, Groot! I thought I'd give my Pitt brush pens a go with this bark-covered Kirby Monster. I think I made him a little more pissed off than he was in his original appearance, but you get the idea.

The alien tree creature known as Groot first came to Earth to abduct a human village. He was to return with it to his home planet for his scientists to experiment on the people living there.

Leslie Evans, a biologist, discovers this and tries to warn the small town of the intentions of this creature, but they don't believe him. When Groot attacks, Leslie unleashes a colony of mutated termites on him. The termites seemingly destroy him before he can accomplish his mission.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Groot is a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy after having served a brief stint with Nick Fury's Howling Commandos.

  2. At the very least, a good talking to--like the petulant teenager it is!
