There are many different creatures that can be built and they each have their own job in the game. Keep reading and you can learn the best monsters to choose when you start to build your arsenal as well as some tips and hints.

Perhaps you have not been introduced to the game Backyard Monsters. If not I will tell you that it is a game similar to Civilization and Age of Empires. You start with an empty backyard and you create your mining operation and build up your monsters by choosing carefully what order to build.

The first things you will need will be the resource gatherers. These will keep you building by supplying you with the materials needed. Goo is needed to create the monster and so you want to start gathering it as soon as possible so that when the time comes to create monsters you have a ready supply.

Twigs and pebbles are used to build all the different buildings therefore it is vital to have a steady supply. It is very important that you keep the pebble and twig gatherer upgraded and producing. The Putty is the researching material to unlock new creatures. This is only used during this process, but it takes a lot of the substance. With this in mind you will want to begin collecting putty as soon as possible.

With this knowledge about how to build, we can cover the monsters that will become unlocked one at a time and will defend your village.

The first creature that comes up to unlock is not necessarily the best to build. They make cute little pink creature called "Pokey". This creature can draw fire and they are a cheap build so they are not too costly to lose to booby traps and first fire. They keep the more expensive monsters alive a little longer. They do take up a lot of room in the hatchery so they keep you from building other creatures that will do you better as a defense or offense player.

The next available monster is called "Octo-Ooze" This green guy will be able to take a huge amount of hits from the weapons of your opponent and will keep your main players safer for a longer time. Unlike the Pokey who dies fast, the Octo-Ooze will survive much longer in the face of danger.

Next you will see the availability of "Bolt". This speedy monster with his razor like teeth will destroy your opponents buildings causing their production to shut down and their materials to be lost. This is a great offensive player.

Next is the destroyer "Fink" This monster will work best in a group and they will work together seeking out the main buildings to destroy. Hei s one of the best fighters as long as he is protected.

"Eye-Ra" is a walking bomb. This creature will attach himself to the walls of any building and will blow it up.

One of the strongest and toughest monsters is "ichi". This monster will take out booby traps and the towers.

"Bandito" is the monster that will attack anything. this is one of the best monsters to have.He will attack everything in his path.

The mysterious "Fang" has a connection to the land and this allows him special strength. He is willing and able to take on any buildings and destroy them.

When you are looking for a fast and smart monster look no further then the "Brain" this monster will take out silos and town halls.

The "Crabatron" will be able to break the tower in two easy peasy. Send it to a tower and make it's day.

Speaking of towers when you see the "Project X" monster you will see what happens when an experiment goes wrong.

"Zafreeti" the new healer in the game will keep your champion safe when attacking another player's base.

Strategic air offense comes into play after the "Teratorn" is unlocked in the hatchery.

When facing a strongly walled base, using the "Wormzer" to go underground to penetrate the enemy base.

The last and best line of defense and offense is "D.A.V.E." The most complete base destroyer to date. This is the most powerful monster in the game.
