Have you ever wanted a pet monster?

If you are like me, the answer is no, because you think monsters don't exist. If you are like Willow, the answer is yes definitely.

Willow and I found an ancient spell book called the Bigge Boke of Fetching Monsters, which shows you how to make real monsters. We made Hodgepodge, who's a bit furry and a bit stinky. He's my best friend.

Willow wants to make a best friend, but I'm worried. Now that I know monsters are real, what if this new one is really dangerous?
