Mah Jongg Tile Set Description

Tile Set Name:  MONSTERS.TIL
Subject:  Monster in my Pocket (created by Morrison Entertainment Group)
Created by:  Scott Hutchins

Description:

Monsters are especially wondrous to look at.  Morrison's Monster 
in my Pocket has some of the best likenesses of monsters from 
folklore, novels, religion, mythology, and phenomenon.  None of 
these monsters come solely from movies.  I have included forty-two 
monsters from at least ninety-six.   Don't worry, I'm not even 
sure where every single one came from, but Morrison could tell 
you.

This tile set uses the same method of substitution used in 
FLAGS.TIL (on the regular Mah Jongg disk).  This is a substitution 
by replacing suites with other suites as follows:

Miscellaneous monsters (replaces suit of dots):

1) Hydra
2) Ymir (actually an evil monster)
3) Sebeck (see above)
4) Tyrannosaurus Rex
5) Griffin
6) Herne the Hunter
7) Lochness Monster
8) The Beast (from Beauty... By Mme. Marie Le Prince de Beaumont)
9) Ganesha

Replacing the White Dragon:

10) Bigfoot

Good Monsters (replaces suit of bamboo):

11) Mr. Hyde (also known generically as Mad Scientist)
12) Golem 
13) Gremlin 
14) Mummy 
15) The Phantom (of the Opera) 
16) Vampiress 
17) Swamp Beast 
18) Jotun Troll 
19) Invisible Man 

Replacing the Green Dragon:

20) Dragon (get the joke? This is a Morrison character, though.)

Evil Monsters (replaces suit of characters):

21) Minotaur
22) Ghost
23) Cerberus
24) Cyclops
25) Charon
26) Karnak
27) Tengu
28) Windigo
29) Ogre

Replacing the Red Dragon:

30) Haniver (another joke, as Hanivers were cut up and dried rays  
sometimes called baby dragons.) 

"Super Scary" Monsters [+ 1 Evil] (replaces suit of winds)

31) Blemmyea
32) Nuckelavee
33) Bash Tchelik
34) Zombie (another Evil monster.)
