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

Indeed! Anything that wants to snip off my "windshield wyper" wins hands down.
