The Mystery Of Mr. Snoodle Posted by Roary Scrawl on November 20, 2009

Everybody always wants to know, "How did Mr. Snoodle become part of the PONIES set?" Today I'm here to get to the bottom of it.

Gigi, Angel and Priscilla- They're DEFINITELY Ponies. But Mr. Snoodle!?! He's an ELEPHANT, right? Well then why is he considered a PONY? This is the kind of thing that makes my head hurt! I'll bet there's a really good reason why...

Since it's Friday, and that means it's CONTEST time, let's have a VERY short story contest. Here's how to enter:

* Write a VERY short story about how Mr. Snoodle came to join the Ponies Moshling Set
* Comment on THIS blog with your story

The winners will receive an ELEPHANT sized Rox prize and have their story featured right here in The Daily Growl.

Here's what I think happened:

OK, now it's YOUR turn! Ready, set, GO!

Yesterday's Random Rox winners are retrogirl3, violetue, and sproxtonbabe. Since SO many of you took a stab at Tamara's puzzle, EVERYBODY who guessed has won a FREE Red Puzzle Shelf!

Introducing Super Moshis! Posted by Roary Scrawl on November 18, 2009

THOUSANDS of you entered, but only a few got through. A few HUNDRED! Yep, there are over 500 Super Moshis spreading the good Moshi word in Monstro City. That's too many to list here, but you'll know you made the cut if you find a Super Moshi BADGE in your inventory. If you find one, stick it up on your wall right away!

So you found the badge in your inventory. Now what? Here's what Super Moshis do:

* Be a SUPER role model
* Meet and greet new monsters over at the Monstro City Welcoming Committee by friend requesting them and sending them a welcome greeting on their Pinboards and gifts from Gift Island
* If you see a question at the Moshi Forum that you know the answer to, go ahead and answer it! (Don't worry if you can't answer all questions, just be helpful where you can)
* Read The Daily Growl every day
* Help promote Moshi contests on your Pinboard and to friends outside the game
* Display the Super Moshi Badge in your room

Super Moshis SHOULD NEVER

* Say they can Ban or suspend players
* Say they are Moshi staff
* Ask for your password

Monstro City is sure to be an even happier place now that we have Super Moshis roaming the streets. Don't be shy! If you see one, say hello. They're friendly monsters.

The Poppet in the picture above doesn't have a name. Can you come up with a suitably Super sounding name for the Super Moshi Poppet? A few of you will win a Random Rox prize!

Yesterday's Random Rox winners are crazyr28funky, nissan5952, and saycheese111. Since SO many of you commented, you've all won a FREE Original Scare Bear!

P.S. If you didn't make the cut this time, don't worry. We'll do another round of Super Moshi applications in the Spring. Plus, you can still be a helpful monster and great role model even if you're not an official Super Moshi.

Keep your eyes at hand...

Moshi Band Bio - Hairosniff! (And Perfy's Time Travel Winners) Posted by Roary Scrawl on November 15, 2009

There's a LOT to talk about today. I have a Moshi band bio for ya, AND the winners of Miss Pinky's Time Travel contest. Get ready to find out everything you ever wanted to know about Hairosniff, and read the winning story!

Led by legendary big-mouthed screamer, Screech McPiehole, Hairosniff have gone through more band members than bottles of aargh-garita. But that hasn’t stopped them churning out mega-hits such as ‘Don’t Wanna Sniff a Thing’ and ‘Squawk this Way’.

As well as recording some classic tunes, these wrinkly monsters of rock have been touring the Moshi world for as long as anyone can remember. When they’re not stumbling around on stage or guzzling wobble-ade by the gallon, they enjoy wrapping scarves around their walking frames, brushing their wigs and moaning about the price of boiled sweets. Help! The aged!

Likes: Boil-in-the-bag codswallop and really tight pants.

Dislikes: Wimpy music and daylight.

Sweet! Comment on THIS blog and tell me what you think of Hairosniff, and a few of you will win a Random Rox prize!

Oh yeah, and here's the winner of Miss Pinky's Time Travel Contest.

Submitted by alma1234567

Alma1234567, you've won a HUGE Rox prize! The runners up are andypur3 and lurveroflove. Well done! Everybody's stories were SO good that EVERYBODY who commented has won a FREE Trashcan Surprise. That's what fuels time machines, right?

Moshi Movie Madness! Posted by Roary Scrawl on November 14, 2009

Helloooooo! This morning I was watching clips of last year's Growly Grub Day Slop eating contest on Gootube, and I found a bunch of really cool Moshi videos made by Moshi fans. It gave me an idea. Let's have a Moshi VIDEO CONTEST! I even convinced Simon Growl and Tyra Fangs to help me judge it! This is gonna be HUGE!!

Here are some of the videos that inspired me:

Here's how to enter:

* Create a video that shows just how great Moshi Monsters is
* Keep it under 1 minute, MAX
* Use a video camera, webcam, photos, flash, or anything else you can think of
* If you include footage of yourself, be careful NOT to give out Personally Identifiable Information
* Upload the video to your favorite video sharing site (Remember to get your parent's help as most sites have strict rules against what ages their users need to be!)
* Email us at dailygrowl@moshimonsters.com and include a link to your video and your Owner Name.
* If you win, we will contact your parents to make sure it's ok to show off your fangtastic Moshi video!

* The deadline is Monday, November 30th

As far as what to do in your video, be creative! Here are some ideas:

* Pictures from our site
* Images from our Fun Stuff Page
* Videos from our site
* Voice over
* Acting/Performances
* Your own artwork
* Paper animations
* Stop motion
* Claymation
* Masks & costumes
* Create a Moshi skit

Our friends over at Animoto make it easy to create videos, but be sure to grab a grown-up to help you upload your work.

Go ahead, get out your director's chair, be like Stephen Gruelberg, and make a Moshi movie! Good luck!

Mr Moshi was SO excited when he heard this idea that he has promised 5 Grand Prizes of Flip video cameras and some Moshi Zazzle prizes for the runners up!

Comment on THIS blog and tell me what your Moshi video will be about a few of you will win a Random Rox prize!
