Monster

The Monster is an animatronic robot that is manually controlled by the staff. Its first appearance was in Monster Cash, where it was being controlled by Chef Hatchet. Chris mentioned that, because it went out of control, the film lot that was abandoned. Its job was to capture each cast member and insert them into a moonbounce near the trailers. It was able to capture everyone but Owen, who was too heavy to be picked up, resulting in the machine breaking down. Izzy claimed to have gone on a "romantic date" with it after it caught everyone. The date presumably took place during the night when Owen was heading towards the bounce house full of contestants as Izzy had disappeared during this time. However, she said, "I am so over that monster!" when it crushed the girls' trailer that they had just earned.

It returns again in The Princess Pride, where it is dressed as a dragon for the second part of the challenge, in which either Justin, Duncan, or Harold had to save the princess, Courtney. It is once again controlled by Chef Hatchet. In this episode, Justin shuts it down with some assistance from Harold, but the shut-down isn't permanent.

In Mutiny on the Soundstage, Duncan has to kiss the monster to pass the challenge. The Monster is not controlled by Chef, but is instead controlled by the blond intern seen in the Aftermath episodes. He later succeeds in this challenge.

In the Best. Game. Ever., Week One, the monster crushes a staff member. Chris made the intern find that staff member, who is still underneath the foot of the monster, and makes him sign a waiver promising not to sue. In week nineteen, the intern hsd to find a dragon costume and dress up the monster.
