So after checking some search phrases hitting this blog, I noticed someone misspelled Chronosaurus (which inadvertently was a misreading of Chronossar combined with a Kronosaur so it’s fitting that this post and creature stems from such a mistake hitting a post stemming from another mistake) by doubling up on the o’s and was directed here. Thinking that’s a great name for a kid’s villain, so was born The Croonosaurus. – KO

Cover your ears citizens! Don’t listen to the Liliensternus lyrics of this week’s foe! He’s larger than life, he’s a Dino after Dean’s footsteps, he’s the ultimate Lounge Lizard, a real Retro Reptile.

Oh The Horror!

He’s The Croonosaurus!

Thank you, I'll be here all week.

A dinosaur with a voice… well, like a dinosaur. But he sings those crooner songs we all know and love! Thr trouble with this week’s villain is that he may think he’s a crooner, but he’s still a dinosaur… and he still sounds like a dinosaur! How will our heroes deal with a six ton enemy who only wants to sing and dance?

Hide your children from the velvet-less Velociraptor voice of this most misguided enemy. And run for cover from the terror’s more dangerous cousin, The Croonosaurus Rex… who probably yodels!

How will our heroes muzzle this Brontosaurian Bad-Guy… and with such massive teeth?

Should the defenders of our beloved city find a way to silence this massive foe, they’ll have to hop to it when next week into our midst comes The Frog-Slinger!

Oo-oo that smell… can’t you smell that smell?
Oo-oo that smell… the smell of death’s around you*

Citizens of our fair city, there’s nothing wrong with your noses! No, the problem isn’t your proboscis! A new villain has come to threaten us. He has technology that eliminates all smells and stinks from existence! He is The Odor Eater!

Harnessing strange technology The Odor Eater has eliminated all smells, stinks, fragrances, odors  and scents both pleasing and retched.

His motives are as unknown as the way he de-stink-ifies the smelliest of smells. He may have deodorized his activities, but they still reek of villainy!

The workers at the local landfill may be cheering, but havoc will soon befall us as bees cannot find flowers to cross-pollinate! Surely romance will wither when roses no longer allure. Perfume vendors will go bankrupt should his antics continue. Who will know when to shower? How will dogs identify each other? And who will know when to change the baby’s diaper?

Chaos is sure to befall us unless our intrepid heroes can find a way to sniff out The Odor Eater!

Should the bringers of justice who watch over our beloved citizenry find a way to defeat this nefarious foe, they’ll have their work cut out for them next week when they face off against The Croonosaurus!

Beware! This week a criminal comes to our fair city that has no equal!

That’s not entirely true. It’s not like I’m omnipotent. Besides, must you refer to me as a criminal? And I wouldn’t really call this city “fair.” - CC

Well, maybe not. But the whole Villains for Kids posts are supposed to be done in that whole Golden Age of Comics, larger than life heroes and villains, radio serial genre. So try to play along… ok?

I’ll try, but I won’t promise anything. You haven’t really given me much to go on. Nope, not much at all… – CC

Ok. Let’s try again…

<whisper> Let’s not and say we did. Probably make things easier for the whole three or four actual readers of this blog. Are we just posting another something so spammers have a chance to try to get links to their sites here? Those guys are the real criminals… though not very smart they are persistant.- CC

I heard that. Here’s an idea, how about we stay on topic and do a post about a villain for kid’s roleplaying?

If you insist… not like anyone will ever read any of this. – CC

<sigh> Ok, from the top…

Stand back good citizens of our beloved city, a villain so negative, so opposing, so dastardly…

Well that’s pretty unflattering. – CC

Do YOU want to do this?

Oh no Mr. Narrator, you’re doing such a fine job. How could I possibly interfere with your fine skills in introducing me? – CC

Was that sarcasm?

More like honesty. – CC

Look, just go over there and wait for your cue.

But I don’t like the lighting over there. Besides, if  I go over there you won’t have the benefit of my insight on how this should work. I need to be here so I can correct any obviously glaring errors in your scripted introduction. I mean, come on! What’s this say? “Nefarious! Negative! Evil-Doer!” Does that sound very nice? Not to me it doesn’t. – CC

That’s it. I quit. Either someone muzzle him or I’m out of here.

Hey! No need to get hostile. I’m just trying to help. This blog could use something interesting to get some comments from someone other than that Mark guy and his DIY metal and leather fixation. It’s not like anyone ever comes to this blog for anything Earth-shattering. Have you read some of the stuff Kevin thinks is worth posting? – CC

You want to help me? Then you do this. I’m taking this week off. Last week Ego Boy claims he can do this better than me. Now this week Captain Contrary does everything in his power to contradict me. Heck, even The Drama Queen was easier to work with; all she did was demand top billing and a larger trailer. I’m taking my vacation early. Next week I’ll be back to introduce The Odor Eater! Here you go Captain Contrary. You do your own intro.

Geez, what a grump. Can’t take the slightest bit of constructive criticism. We’re probably better off without him. Ok, here we go:

Sometime this week, or perhaps not, the city (more like a large town perhaps) might face the weak prowess of me, Captain Contrary… then again, maybe it won’t. Can’t assume too much and jump the gun on this one. No need to assemble the heroes this time; I’m not really much of a villain. It’s not like my powers are all that great really. I could probably easily be beaten wihtout much effort. It’s not like I can contradict anything you think or know. Nope, not like I can change the very fabric of reality to negate anything. No need to get worked up over my activities… besides, they’re not all that evil or nefarious. So take a cue from the narrator and take the week off. I’ll keep an eye on things… or maybe I won’t.

And for the record, The Odor Eater might not be next week’s villain either…

“Anything you can do, he can do better. He can do anything better than you!”

Enter the most dangerous of foes ever to face the intrepid heroes of our fair city.
His power immesurable, his skills myriad, his talents uncountable, his tongue sharp, his taunts penetrating, and his penchant for ill without bound!

He is Ego Boy!

Posessing the simple ability to do anything just slightly better than anyone else, Ego Boy’s bizarre super talent requires him to simply view the action of another to mimic it even more perfectly than the original actor. Using his new found ability, Ego Boy will harness the powers of our heros against them!

Were the fact that his mimicry is always just a bit better than the original Ego Boy’s only telling power, he might well be an interesting opponent. But like some schoolyard bully, Ego Boy gloats loudly while mocking those who stand against him! Always finding the right buttons to push, Ego Boy inherently knows which raw nerve to target.

He is better than you. He is better than everyone. He is the best, and he will prove it!

Who can stop the crimes such a n’er-do-well will commit?
How will our fair city deal with so dangerous a villain?
What clever tricks must the Paragons of Justice who serve the peace-loving citizens of our illustrious city bring to bear against so nefarious and annoying a foe as Ego Boy?

Stay tuned gentle readers, for should our city’s heroic Do-Gooders vanquish so powerful an enemy, they may find themselves denied and negated against next week’s no-good-nick Captain Contrary!

Hold onto your lunch do-gooders! Do your best to keep your breakfast down!
Keep an eye on your lunch money too! Lest recess turn from play to peril!

Entering the fray this week is a villain with a power as bizarre as it is disgusting and icky!
Fear the coming of Rowena Pots… The Queen of Snots!

Though a beauty to behold herself; with manners most impeccable, her surrounding throng of youthful followers are constantly wiping their noses upon their sleeves.
Her strange powers manifest in the mucous membranes of children.
Somehow able to control tykes and toddlers to plunder and harass the good citizens of out fair city.
The only tell-tale sign that the nascent naughty newcomer to crime has fallen under her sway? A constant runny nose.

How will our beloved heroes deal with a crime-wave perpetrated by children?
Will a simple spanking resolve this law-breaking tantrum?

What nefarious activities does Rowena have planned for her army of snot-nosed tots?
Will the entire city require a time-out?

Are the youngsters on the street corner part of her gang?
Or do they all have allergies?

How will our city fare against The Queen of Snots!?!

Join us next week as we’re faced with the most dangerous of enemies to date as none shall stand a greater threat to our peaceful and prosperous city as Ego Boy!

Lurking the highways and byways of the rural regions of the land, The Devil Bunny is a strange manifestation of sheer suicidal energy. Bent with a focus to race directly at the headlights of vehicles as they travel along the deserted thoroughfares late at night. Many a late-night driving tragedy can be attributed to these odd creatures and their habits of appearing, then aiming their non-corporeal essences directly at the vehicle.

Are these manifestations mere coincedence? Or is there a nefarious intelligence behind their actions?

How will our interpid heroes deal with such a bizarre foe? And what mystery surrounds the presence of these manifestations? By what manner do they choose their prey? Where and when will they strike next?

And should our fair city’s rural roadways be swept clean of The Devil Bunny, stay tuned fair readers, for next week the ick factor is turned up for our beloved gang of do-gooders when they come face to face with Rowena Pots the Queen of Snots!

Fear for your lives good citizens!  For we know not just how this episode will end; will it be a cliffhanger or will it be curtains for the justice seekers of our fair citizenry?

• Ready to demonstrate that the heroes of our fair city aren’t the only show in town!
• Seeking fame and noteriety and her name in lights!
• A diva in her own right, she seeks only the best of things.
• Looking to end the career of many a do-gooder with a curtain call, her antics are no act. She’s the real deal.

Entering from stage left, it’s The Drama Queen!

Will our heroes be upstaged? Only time will tell.

• The Drama Queen can bring to the spotlight the smallest of issues, magnifying their significance.
• She’s known to wreak havok with the simple turn of phrase, “Break a leg.”
• With the voice of an angel, she can mesmerize her audience with a song.
• Her loving fans will adore and worship her, bringing her gifts in exchange for her love and attention.
• Don’t cross her however, for in her role as the fat lady she’s dangerous to handle. Don’t let her find the spotlight or she’ll sing! And then it’ll all be over…

Can the good people of our fair city survive the drama? Will the heroes find a way to deal with her and her throng of adoring fans? What dangers lurk just off-screen for our benevolent benefactors? Tune in and find out!

And next week, after the Drama Queen exits stage left, a devilish fiend arises from the rogues gallery of enemies… for next up is The Devil Bunny!

Hide your wallets good citizens! For the villainous creature known as The Money Grubber seeks to feast upon the coins and paper currency in your possession!

This large, grub-like fiend of a beast has the ability to spit acid and a penchant to eat money. Perhaps the ink tastes like candy to this foe, but then what could explain it’s desire to eat precious metals as well? The creature’s hide is thick and leathery, but coated in a sticky slime that reeks of greed and rotten cabbage.

Faced with a foe it cannot overcome, The Money Grubber can burrow at a remarkable speed through solid rock as it eats its way to freedom.

What if the creature finds its way to the financial district?
What terrible fate awaits the robotic heroes who find themselves in its path?
Can the saviors of our fair city stomache an encounter with The Money Grubber?

And stay tuned gentle readers, for next our heroes face their most dangerous foe to date as the stage is set for the appearance of The Drama Queen!

Prepare for a challenge Do-Gooders! A strange visitor has come to our fair city. His antics are causing mayhem! He must be stopped!

Watch out for The Goofy Goofer!

This bizarre visitor from another dimension seems bent on nothing short of complete chaos by simply standing in the road, diverting and impeding traffic.

• Given the strange power to move freely and easily between dimensions.
• Able to be in multiple locations at once, he has a penchant for finding ways of getting in front of rush-hour drivers and inciting road-rage.
• Incapable of being physically captured, The Goofy Goofer simply slips away into another dimension to return to some busy intersection.
• Possessing no means of communication but the strange power to control the blinking of nearby red, yellow, and green lights!

How will the forces of good that protect our fair city handle this misguided force to be reckoned with?
Though he somehow must be stopped, how will our intrepid heroes deal with the traffic disaster that is The Goofy Goofer?
Will they discover his hidden agenda? Does he have one?
Will they learn to communicate with this alien intellect in time?
The Mayor demands something be done! Chaos has gripped the drivers of the city!

Stay vigilant good readers, for next week we come face to face with the dastardly creature known only as The Money Grubber!
