Roll a Monster — questions

How do I draw a random monster?

Roll the dice on this page. Each roll fills in one part of your monster — body shape, number of eyes, number of legs, main color, on its head, texture, special power — and when you've rolled them all, you draw what you got. Start over any time for a brand-new monster.

What can I change about my monster?

You roll for 7 things in total at Deluxe difficulty: body shape, number of eyes, number of legs, main color, on its head, texture, special power. Simple difficulty keeps it to 3 so younger artists aren't overwhelmed.

Is the monster generator free to use?

Yes — rolling a monster to draw is free, with no sign-up. It works in any browser, so it's handy for home, the classroom or on the go.
