Introduction I’m not good with introductions, so I’ll get to the point. If you don’t understand the concept of Monsters of /X/, go read my first article here. If you haven’t read my first article and don’t plan on reading it, the basic conceit is that I’m making monster write-ups based on creatures from 4chan’s /X/ board, which is their paranormal and conspiracy board. Pretty simple—but not as simple as you might think.

I’ve been looking forward to finally getting around to this idea. It aligns well with some of my current and future project concepts. The conceit of this series of articles, which I have dubbed Monsters of /X/, is to explore the monsters and creatures featured on the /X/ board of 4chan back in the day. Internet folklore operates much like traditional folklore but on vastly accelerated time scales due to the speed of digital communication.
