Insectosaurus, or simply known as Insecto, is a character in Monsters vs. Aliens. He is the Missing Link's pet.
Transformation[]
Insectosaurus was a one-inch grub transformed by radiation into a 350-foot monster that attacked Tokyo. He was captured in 1969 and formed a close bond with the Missing Link, who is the only person that can understand him.
Personality[]
Originally, Insectosaurus was nothing more than a simple grub with no unique characteristics, but after his mutation he donned an almost mammalian-like appearance similar to that of an orange hamster with a massive overbite, four pincer-like arms, antennas, two stubby feet, and a short reptilian-like tail. Insectosaurus is a massive creature in size even dwarfing the giant Ginormica. After his metamorphosis near the end of the film, Insectosaurus' appearance is changed to that of a more butterfly-like creature (similar to Mothra of Godzilla fame) while still possessing his hamster-like face, furry body, massive overbite and reptilian-like tail.
Beginning to Die[]
Monsters vs. Aliens[]
After trying to save Susan from Gallaxhar's tractor beam, he is blasted with Gallaxhar's laser and assumed dead. He later turns out to have only metamorphosized into a butterfly and saves the monsters right before Gallaxhar's ship explodes.
