When you think of monsters, they could really be made of anything, sort of like aliens. Well, now we know. These anatomical charts come complete with spiked vertebrates and massive human filled colons. Hit the jump for Godzilla and friends.

These ChopSaver chopsticks are available in red, blue and green colors and are likely to break a few plates over the years. Our advice?
