Dwelling Monster

Meet Mot, the most unpredictable member of the DWELLING Monster “Booord.” Mot accidentally created the wildly popular monster snack Tile Crunch™ (warning: absolutely not safe for humans) when he let AI take over his job instead of building a home organization app. Mot means well, but he’s always running late, is talking with his mouth full, and now spends his days inventing bizarre new Tile Crunch™ flavors—still no website for it, but rumor has it he’s working on one… eventually.
