Spoilers

I kind of hate to spoil the random image thing I've got on this site by just showing them all off at once, but I obviously have to credit the artists where I can. There are a few background images that aren't included here—in cases where I can't find a meaningful credit, or where I actually made the image myself—so I guess there might still be a few surprises!

Also, I need to thank Aeron Alfrey, whose excellent Monster Brains blog provided loads of these images. No better place on the Internet to get awesome high-res scans of cool monster art!
