The Creatures of Etsy, image from Pipapiep's shop

Halloween is the time of year for monsters, and there are plenty to choose from at Etsy.  There are plush monsters, felt monsters, and fuzzy monsters galore to cuddle up with on Halloween night and beyond.  However, going through them all on Etsy is a monstrous headache, so I’ve compiled a list of the Top Ten Best Etsy shops with lovable monsters and creatures from distant lands!

See the full list after the break:

These sock monkey robots probably wouldn’t be able to beat Robotrilla, but they can compute how many bananas it takes to make the perfect smoothie:

Where the Wild Things Are collections

Where the Wild Things Are has been inspiring readers for generations, and the recent movie has spurred the creation of two great collections at Urban Outfitters and Opening Ceremony.  The Urban Outfitters collection has more of a cute, childlike feel, with whimsical patters on the Allover Woods Crew T-Shirt, and scribbles on the Wild Grass Pillow.  Where the Wild Things Are Dolls are adorable, and go well with the graphic canvas prints.

Opening Ceremony’s Where the Wild Things Are X collection is more refined and expensive, with lots of furry ensembles and quirky details.  My favorites include the gorgeously fuzzy Carol Flare Coat and the cute typography on the seen/done/loved T-shirt.  The Carol Headband is necessary for when you need to blend in with monsters, and the Ira Claw bracelet is perfect for when your wrist needs a hug.
