In this article, we delve into the origins of the Flatwood Monster and explore how it influenced Yukinobu's work.

The origin of the legend of the Flatwood monster

A meteorite or a legitimate alien encounter?

On September 12, 1952, a bright object was seen across the sky in the town of Flatwoods, West Virginia. When eyewitnesses went to investigate, they reported seeing a pulsating red light that caught their attention. Curious to get to the bottom of it, they decided to look near the hill where the bright object was first seen. According to eyewitness accounts, as they got closer, they encountered a 10-foot-tall man-like figure with a space-shaped head, a round blood-red face, and claw-like hands.

After the news broke, a local sheriff and a district deputy investigated but found nothing unusual. However, this did not stop the story from becoming national news as reporters flocked to the area to investigate and draw their own conclusions. But even seven decades later, no conclusive evidence has been found to corroborate the eyewitness story. Although there are several theories about the incident, the most widely accepted one has been proposed by Joe Nickell of the Committee for Skeptical Investigations, who claims that witnesses may have seen a meteorite. This was most likely due to the sighting of several meteors from different parts of the United States that year on September 12th.

Joe also had an explanation for the strange extraterrestrial encounter that eyewitnesses had that day. According to him, people at ground zero have probably encountered a barn owl, mistaking it for a humanoid creature from another world. He claims that the shadow likely made the bird appear larger than usual, an illusion exacerbated by their heightened state of anxiety. Despite several investigations in this area, no evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found. However, the lack of evidence doesn't stop people from coming up with their own theories, and the legend of the Flatwood Monster lives on decades after the incident.

This series is heavily influenced by eyewitness accounts of the 1952 incident.

Yukinobu Tatsu dentist It borrows ideas from real-life alien myths and mysteries, including the Flatwood monster. Like the alien from West Virginia, the Flatwood Monster in the series is 10 feet tall and was first spotted in the town of Flatwoods in Braxton County. In the following years, there were reports of sightings in Japan's Yamanashi Prefecture. Flatwood Monster is fully muscular and built like a sumo wrestler in anime. Its mouth is rectangular and moves mechanically, while the head is surrounded by a mysterious hood. Because the Flatwood Monster is so tall and has a giant belly, it can weigh several tons.

Interestingly, the Flatwood monster is subordinate to the Serpoes and is an alien like them. Due to his massive size and sumo-wrestler-like build, he can generate fearsome power using sumo-style kicks. These are extremely dangerous to anyone nearby as this force can kill even a normal human.

The Flatwood Monster's strength can dramatically turn into a weakness as its body begins to disintegrate upon contact with the ground, for some inexplicable reason. It's almost like the alien can only fight standing sumo. However, if this were to happen, the Flatwood monster's ability to generate legs would allow it to instantly grow new pairs to stabilize the rest of its body.

An actual eyewitness to the West Virginia incident in 1952 claimed that they immediately felt nauseated and smelled of dust immediately after encountering the 10-foot man-like figure. Yukinobu seems to have borrowed the idea to give the Flatwood Monster in the anime the power to release a poisonous black mist that causes nosebleeds. The alien uses the noxious dust to attack Okaron and Momo, forcing them out of their hiding place.

Despite being incredibly strong, the Flatwood Monster is surprisingly docile to the Serpo Aliens. The organization remains steadfast in its mission to procure Okarun and Momo's banana limbs when it encounters them. The alien almost single-handedly manages to defeat the two freaks with supernatural powers. However, Momo's quick thinking allows the two friends to put the spell in place, whereupon he turns to ashes and dies.
