Monster

The monster was an animatronic robot controlled by Chef in Monster Cash. Chris mentioned that because it went out of control due to being in a 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 has 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. Later, however, she said, "I am so over that monster!" after the monster crushed the girls' trailer.

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 has 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 had to kiss the monster to pass its Bridgette and Geoff themed challenge. The Monster was not controlled by Chef, but was instead controlled by the blond intern seen in the Aftermath episodes.

In the Best. Game. Ever., Week 1, the monster crushed a staff member. The intern had to make the staff member sign a waiver promising not to sue. In week nineteen, the intern (at this point, Co-Star) had to find a dragon costume and dress up the monster.

Trivia

 * It was most likely fixed up by the crew during Total Drama Action, as Chris said it went out of control, but it operates just fine. But since Chris is known for his constant lying, this might have just been said to scare the castmates.
 * So far, it is the only animatronic object seen on the show, as the woolly beavers and geese seen in One Million Bucks, B.C. were not actually animatronic.
 * It is so far the only non-human object to have a relationship with someone.
 * The monster appears to be a parody of Godzilla.
 * In Mutiny on the Soundstage, Chef said the monster was the alien from the alien movie, when, actually, Chef was the alien. The monster played no part in the alien challenge.
 * The monster gets attracted to three people in the season: Justin, Izzy, and Duncan (though it could have just liked Duncan's kiss)
 * Chris said that it was the reason the film lot was abandoned, yet in The Sand Witch Project, he claims it was the ghost of a dead rent-a-cop that made the film lot abandoned.
