Monster Factory Season 1 Episode 4 Born Better

In the fourth episode of Monster Factory's first season titled "Born Better," hosts Griffin and Justin McElroy create new creatures for the game Spore. This episode starts with the brothers discussing their love for the game Spore's character creator and how they want to dive deeper into making the weirdest creatures possible.

The first creature that the McElroy brothers create is a giant blue bird with an enormous beak, small wings, and a long tail. They name the creature "Beaky" and decide to make it their flagship character for the episode. The process of creating creatures in Spore involves selecting body parts such as heads, limbs, and tails, and then manipulating them to create a unique creature. Griffin and Justin trade off on selecting and modifying body parts for the creatures they create.

The second creature is a purple blob with tentacles and green spots that they name "Tentie." The brothers then proceed to dress up Tentie with clothing and accessories, which is not a typical feature in Spore. They give Tentie a top hat, a monocle, and a bowtie, turning the creature into a sophisticated gentleman.

The third creature is a spider-like creature that they name "Legs for Days." It is a tall and slender creature with an exaggerated number of legs and a small head. It proves difficult to manage and control, and the McElroys struggle to create a stable creature through the game's mechanics.

The fourth creature is a horse-like creature with a large backside and a small head that they name "Bootyhorse." They spend considerable time adjusting the size of the creature's buttocks before deciding to give it a longer neck and an elongated jaw.

The fifth creature they create is a segmented worm-like creature that they name "Squirmies." They enjoy making its appearance so much that they decide to create a race of Squirmies and develop backstories for them. They imagine Squirmies as the dominant species on a distant planet and craft a history and culture for them.

The final creature of the episode is a blob with square-shaped tentacles and a massive belly that they name "Squangle." Squangle proves to be more challenging to control than the other creatures, and the McElroys struggle to make it walk.

Throughout the episode, the McElroys provide witty commentary and laugh at their creations' absurdity. They discuss their ideas for each creature and how they can use them to take over the Spore universe. The audience can expect raunchy jokes, sibling banter, and lots of laughter.

Overall, "Born Better" is an entertaining episode that showcases the McElroys' creativity and humor. It demonstrates their expertise in the game Spore and their ability to make the weirdest creatures possible. Viewers who enjoy creatures and games will undoubtedly find this episode appealing.
