These weird dog names after monsters are perfect if you're a fan of monster movies, TV programs or even legendary creatures thought to exist.
Who doesn't have a favorite movie monster, or even one from TV? We know we still enjoy watching reruns of cheesy Japanese movies where Godzilla is battling some weird new monster mutant that was created from offshore nuclear testing.
Or how about monster dog names after legendary creatures? Have you ever seen Bigfoot? or the abominable snowman aka Yeti? We didn't think so.
