What are your favourite monsters in prog?

How about the thing on the cover of tarkus?

Or the squonk, the crying rat from a trick of the tail.

or the giant dragon thing on Rush - Rock in Rio?

Any other famous prog monsters?

How about ELP as an entity?


The Beatles were a four-headed monster sure...


Failing that, the Roger Dean Octopus!

Those fishy beings on the cover for Caravan & The New Symphonia are rather daunting, wouldn't you agree?

The Giant Hogweed. To make a monster out of a plant is a cool idea.

By the way, here is some help for you, Mr. Gabriel:

Whatever plagues Peter Hammill in "A Louse is not a Home". Is it himself?  Or something more sinister?

That was Roger Dean too, doing the Osibisa covers, right?

That's certainly a good reason to call them prog

By the way, Tarkus and Manticore are my favorite monsters.

They didn't like each other, though
