After feeding, they would divide into two monsters! Scientists had accidentally created the creatures while trying to find a cure for cancer... It was up to some scientist friends of the (now dead) cancer researcher to piece together the mystery and find a way to stop the monsters. The creatures were immune to all physical damage (they avoided fire but were not really harmed by it); they could only be killed by injecting strontium 90 (a radioactive isotope) into the cattle and this killed the monsters shortly after they devoured the radioactive bone juice out of them! It was a pretty gross, fun film (AMC has played it a lot lately); the monsters looked like a dog-sized blob of green snot with one tentacle that waved around like a snake, striking and constricting its victims. They made a weird trilling sound, too.Maybe Erica could convert these to CoC?</blockquote>
