Spook-E is our annual October series where we evolve monsters!
Each episode throughout the month, we choose a monster and discuss how it – or something like it – might evolve under the rules of evolution and natural selection, pulling inspiration from organisms of the real world. You can find the full episode collection on our Youtube Playlist, and they’re also available with the rest of our podcast wherever you listen to podcasts!
Going on now! A special side series: Pok-É!
Make sure to check out the amazing Fan Art made of our Spook-E creations!
Also feel free to join in on the discussion on the Spook-E Discord channel!
