I think underground and deep ocean is where it's at, more likely than undiscovered/unexplored regions of the land - I mean sure they'd have some stuff we hadn't seen before, unusual centipedes, spiders, insects, animals etc but I don't think anything all that out of the ordinary, more like subspecies or "relatives" to things we've already encountered, perhaps some things thought to be extinct.
Though I say, if you're looking at BIG, and WEIRD, I think you've got to go deeper - places where complete absence of light, higher heat and pressure will either make things appear stranger through adapting to these environments, perhaps "stronger" through dealing with higher pressures, and the deeper, I'd say the larger - say ultra-deep sea, where only something large and incredibly well constructed could really exist without being torn apart. Funny, if you think about those things rising, it would be interesting to observe just how powerful, manouverable and nigh invulnerable they'd become when so much pressure is off. I'm sure some would die in the attempt, or get the wicked bends though...but who's to say that's something they'd actually experience - they've gotta have SOME way of dealing with pressure. So yeah, I'd look more into places we cannot thus far venture.

I do belive in things like bigfoot and aliens but they are not the real monsters. The real monsters are these lowlife child molesters and killers the scumbags that hurt poor defenceless animals and people that will kill you for your shoes or a video game system like the guy in florida a few years ago that killed like 5 people for an xbox those are the real monsters.

The term 'monster' covers so much ground that it is truly unfair to ask such simple questions as 'do they exist?'. Once considered imaginary monsters, like the Giant Squid, sewer gators and Earwigs that lay eggs in your brain, seem to lose their monster status once they become common knowledge.
If the question was aimed more towards the existance of Bigfoot(and not just in our hearts and minds), then no. Come on people, it's just common sence. There are however humans living in the mountains who don't want you to know they live there, who may throw rocks and make noises to scare you away. And let's not forget the pranksters, who feed right into our open minds for kicks. Aliens totally do exist. I'm not saying there flying around putting probes in us. I'm sure that we'll find bacteria and plant life on the first planet we get a good look at with liquid water. I'll bet money that Jupitors' ice moon Europa, has bacterial and plant lifeform under the miles of ice on the surface. Maybe even a fish.:D Those wouldn't really be monsters though.

Hey Cheebacheeba,
As far as deep ocean creatures coming to the surface goes, without the great pressures of the deep pushing in around them they litteraly explode. Deep Ocean animals usually have to be brought to the surface in a jar, or other sealed container that can maintain the higher pressures. I've seen early footage of such creatures being brought aboard boats, they practically fall apart.

I'd say it depends on what you call monsters. There's a hell of a lot of the ocean that we know so little about, right deep down there. Things that have come forward in recent years, such as the Anglerfish. Some would consider that to be a monster. It definitely sounds like a monster when you say the description of it to yourself. A small creature that survives in the pitch black, using a small glowing appendage to lure in creatures which it visciously eats with it's large razor sharp teeth.
Then there's the things like giant and collosal squid, which do without a doubt exist and could and probably is the explanation for the Kraken. So, I will have to echo many of the other statements on here and say Yes, I do believe that there are undiscovered species that are being misinterpreted. Who's to say that the mongolion death worm wasn't merely a strange plant blowing in the wind that gradually twisted to become a much more interesting creature? As for other things, such as aliens, I definetely believe that there are other creatures in the universe. Life finds a way, and so what if they say that these planets are incapable of supporting life? All that means is that they can't support life by our standards. Things evolve and adapt to suit their environments!

I bet to a squirrel, I look like a monster. Squirrels always act so freaked out when they get too close to people. I cut down trees for a couple summers during highschool, I killed a lot of squirrels, bats, birds, possums and whatever else lives in trees. If I were to describe how I threw a handful of baby squirrels into a running wood chipper, I may look like a monster to some of you. I bet I look like a monster to fish too.
The squirrels fell safely to the ground through a large slot in the chipper before the blades could hurt them. This 'slot' is there to make sure someone doesn't accidentaly feed a couple rocks into the chipper. You see, baby squirrels require alot of care, and can not survive on their own. I have friends who have raised baby squirrels into adulthood and set them free, I know. So the only humane thing to do is kill them as quickly as possible and get back to work. I stomped about 6 baby squirrels to death beneath my boots-they were squealing and everything. That was only one time.
