A GUARDIAN MONSTER
This sleepy Guardian Monster is called Icckelby Slumberton.
Personality: A great believer in the power of dreams, he displays a sweet, mild-mannered disposition when awake, which unfortunately, isn’t often.
POTENTIAL ISSUES: He has a tendency to nod off during conversations lasting more than ten minutes. He may also spend countless hours dreaming about eating instead of actually eating, so when he wakes up he is usually extremely hungry. Also, if he falls asleep in the sun, the tips of his tail may sprout flowers.
RULES OF ETTIQUETE: Approach this monster quietly before attempting contact. When ready, gently whisper “hello” and “please wake up” into his ear. No one likes to be rudely shaken or shouted into consciousness and he is no exception. Within a few minutes of soft verbal nudges his eyes should open. Expect a yawn of epic proportions. Have lots of whipped cream or bowls of puffed rice on hand as he will undoubtedly be starving.

A wee M is for mermaid and moon print for #mermay (the mermaid 
celebration month)!
This Guardian Monster is called AMARASKA ICCKELBUSH. Her brother is called Amarisk.
PERSONALITY: A bit on the shy side, Amarisk has a quiet demeanor and only shows his teeth while eating. His sister Amaraska, on the other hand, is much more outgoing and chatty. She is quite proud of her multiple rows of shark-like teeth and flaunts them as often as possible. She may even pretend to yawn as an excuse to flash her mouthful of pearly blue and whites.
POTENTIAL ISSUES: Amarisk tends to gnaw on wood items (like your furniture) when he is feeling anxious (which is often). Amaraska prefers hard plastics to keep her teeth sharp and polished. She may also begin to chatter if she becomes nervous. I suppose that is better than chewing on fingers or toes, but both issues have been known to cause sudden headaches as well as the urgent need to flee in the person who is unfortunate to be near them when this behavior begins. Fainting has been reported as well.
RULES OF ETIQUETTE: They usually work together as a team. When they present themselves to you, please welcome them in immediately and allow them to move freely within your home. They are looking for good eating spots and will quickly settle down once located. If you approach Amaraska too quickly, she may begin to jabber. Do not worry, she is just feeling a bit excited. If this happens, do not engage her directly in conversation. Simply nod your head and smile, then back away slowly. She will calm down eventually, but may continue mumbling to herself for a short period of time before stopping.
PROTECTIVE POWERS: Indoor Pollution Management
BENEFICIAL POWERS: Bliss Creation

@jbz If #Azure, #AWS, #GoogleCloud, #iCloud, and other US-based cloud services are to remain viable, then #Microsoft, #Amazon, #Alphabet, and #Apple will need to re-organize, such that operations in the #EU and #Canada come to be solely within the legal, physical, and cryptographic custody of non-subsidiary EU-headquartered or Canadian-HQ'd companies, with separate (EU or Canadian citizen and resident) boards and executives, bound by contract, licences, API, and cryptographic keys, yet legally and technologically uncontrollable except in compliance with EU or Canadian law by their US counterparts.

This wee Guardian Monster is called SASSACUS PODS.
PERSONALITY: She is mysterious to most humans and prefers it that way. She believes that keeps her safe. To her, humans are large, dangerous creatures and although she obliges our desires to dominate the insect world, she actually prefers their company. Insects and rodents are simple beings just trying to make a living after all. Humans, on the other hand, are much too complicated, changing their minds on a whim, making them quite difficult to figure out.
POTENTIAL ISSUES: Her wee size and multiple legs often cause her to be mistaken for a strange, colorful bug. She is not. She is a full fledged monster and will not be at all happy if you swat at her with a towel or newspaper. If you have made a point of inviting her into your home, please treat her as a welcome guest, not a pest. She does not bite, but may leave you with a house full of flies, mosquitoes and other annoying insects if you aren’t careful or courteous.
RULES OF ETIQUETTE: She may be found in your garden under daisies or other yellow flowers, which is her favorite color. For goodness sake, please do not spray insecticide anywhere nearby if you require her assistance. That goes for inside your house as well. She will not work in any place that is tainted with chemical smells. Clearly and respectfully state which uninvited guests you would like removed and let her work her magic. Lastly, do not call them nasty names, as some of them may be friends of hers.
