My house monster OC

I'd like to tell you about my Hillhurst house monster character.  

Growler (human name: Nathan Talbut) is a weregrinch who sometimes resides at Hillhurst Mansion or in the closet.




In his human form he is a 38 year old man about 5'7 with long straight brown hair, brown eyes and a goatee. he wears a black shirt with dark red stripes and jeans to match them as well as a pair of black shoes. He doesn't wear the shoes in weregrinch form because they always burst when he transforms.



He is very mysterious and intelligent but also quite naive and is quite shy. In his weregrinch form he is rather wild and savage.



In his weregrinch form he looks like the grinch from the movie version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas except he doesn't have the termite infested grin or sean connery accent - he's covered in green fur, has sharp black clawed fingernails and toenails, long wild hair, fangs, a black nose and a rather grinch-like muzzle as well as glowing yellowish eyes, bushy eyebrows and pointy ears. He also still is able to retain his humanity and intelligence when in grinch form although he has a deeper more menacing slightly demonic sounding voice as well.



The story of how he became who he is starts off with him on a trip to Universal Studios and getting bitten on the left arm by Jim Carrey who is the original weregrinch. Flabber offered to cure him but he declined - saying that he likes the idea of being a grinch especially a weregrinch. Especially seeing as his weregrinch form has very keen senses and a variety of grinch-like powers including enhanced speed and stealth and also super strength (in both his human form and his weregrinch form he is even stronger than Frankenbeans and is considered to be even stronger than Jo)



His transformations into a weregrinch are usually very painful and scary at first but over time he has gotten used to it - the first time he did it was involuntarily.



Sometimes his grinch-like urges get the best of him such as when he aquires a taste for garbage which is a common thing grinches eat. One of the running jokes is that he constantly fights with Wolfie. He lives up in the guest bedroom at Hillhurst which he has converted into his own grinch lair.



Much like Jim Carrey the original weregrinch he can turn other people into one of his kind by either scratching them or biting them.



He is mainly carnivorous but if his grinch-like urges get the best of him he'll treat himself to some garbage.



He loves movies, art and comics especially horror movies or anything that has Jim Carrey in it. He can often be seen reading Fangoria magazine as well as Makeup Artist Magazine and has a fine collection of issues of both.



He can shift between human and weregrinch form at will but he will transform involuntarily under the light of the full moon or around the christmas season even before or after it, he also transforms if he enters the monster realm.



His special scare tactic which he uses to frighten humans, is catching them by suprise with his stealth and cunning. He is quite fierce when in weregrinch form and it is wise not to tick him off.



He always gets the blame for trying to ruin christmas even though he didn't do it. As a result of being a weregrinch he is friends with Jim Carrey (the original weregrinch) and makeup artist Rick Baker who often visit Hillhurst or the monster realm.
 
I hope you like him.
