Energy Monster

The Energy Monster is a recurring villain from the series ''WordGirl. ''It is a large, bipedal monster made entirely of static electricity and expands each time he sucks or touches something electronic (e.g. electric wires, a radio, or a computer). The Energry Monster was created by accident when a ball of static energy in a electric plant went haywire, forcing the employees to bombard it with radiation, thus creating the electric creature.

When the Energy Monster is low on energy, its size shrinks to a miniscule electric creature that is easier to contain than its larger, powered-up form. However, the only way of reducing its size is to "short-circuit" it by drenching it in water (or glass dust, as shown in "Oh, Holiday Cheese") or if continuous electrical attacks drain most of its energy. It has also been shown that the Energy Monster is not only drawn to large sources of power (such as electronics stores or generators) but is also attracted to shiny things (such as Violet's shimmering hat or the disco ball in "Becky and the Bard").
