Creepy crawly or fuzzy & fluffly (yes, that’s possible in LEGO), we love our LEGO animals. Check them out here, and fall in love yourself.

Snyderman’s alien cat

This “bionically enhanced alien cat” by Brickshelf user synderman doesn’t look like a friendly household pet, but it sure can be something to unleash on your enemies. With deadly jaws and sharp claws, this beast isn’t one to be messed with. I love how the builder captured the curvatures of the feline body in this excellent creation.

Another Troll bites the dust

It seems that the new Trolls keep popping up everywhere. Sadly this one was hunted down, beheaded, and hung on a wall. Check out Troll’s Head Inn by MrTS

Wait. Who exactly let Keith in?

I’m extremely pleased to announce that Keith Goldman has joined The Brothers Brick as our resident Columnist.

Keith is one of those LEGO fans of near-mythical proportions. Having met Keith in person, I can report that he stands nine feet four inches tall (that’s twelve meters for you Canadians), and is able to levitate his entire LEGO collection with his mind. Despite his telekinetic abilities, Keith has four arms (six metric). To fit in better with mere mortals, Keith is able to change size and shape at will.

Here’s a photo of Keith (center) with his coterie of adherents, better known as KeithLUG — yes, the man has his own LEGO Users Group:

Keith is perhaps best known for his bloated dioramas, including The Omicron Weekend, built with one third of all LEGO bricks in the Western Hemisphere by a division from the US Army Corp of Engineers over the course of a six month period. Naturally, Keith directed the troops remotely with his mind.

Keith is also a LEGO Ambassador from 2008 until whenever he feels like it, bringing order to the LEGOverse (and MOCPages in particular).

As a Columnist for The Brothers Brick, Keith will apply his “oratorical tradition of uninhibited or unbridled commentary” to semi-regular editorials on LEGO-related topics. Hey may also deign to grace us with his own creations from time to time.

Without further ado, please welcome Keith Goldman to The Brothers Brick!

Mike’s T-rex is hungry

Mike Psiaki‘s ferocious T-Rex looks like it’s hungry for prey. It might as well feed off Mike’s other two newest dinos: the triceratops and brachiosaurus.

Deeper into Planet Nidoria with Chrispockster

The intrepid retro-space astronauts of Chrispockster‘s exploratory crew continue to encounter fascinating residents of the Planet Nidoria. Nidorians are of course famous for their bright green thoroughbred mounts (that’s a Bionicle creature put to excellent use):

The crew itself has recently received an upgrade, accompanied by Robbie the Robot:

He’s fat, he smokes and he’s brick

Fat Dragon

Ballchoi presents the adorably cute Fat Dragon. Would smoking kill a fire breather?

Cagerrin’s Bionicle frog has an adorable mechanical leg

Cagerrin‘s poor Bionicle frog must have lost a leg, but Cagerrin is a kind soul, so now the frog has a mechanical leg:

Since the leg is apparently steam-powered, this is our first post to contain the word “frogpunk” (though not the first reference to the concept). See Cagerrin’s Brickshelf gallery for delicious froggy goodness.

Thanks to Jamie for the e-mail, and BioniBlog for the reminder.

Arvo builds a hermit crab

The Arvo brothers‘ latest addition to their awesome creations gallery is a lonely hermit crab carrying an incredibly beautiful shell, where the pattern of the spiral is created with white hemisphere windscreen pieces.

Triumphant Samurai

Tyler’s (Legohaulic) fantasy samurai stands gracefully poised while clutching the head of a slayed monster. Inspired by this artwork, Tyler captures the victorious pose and the dazzling fantasy elements and depicts them all in this sculpture.

Fighting off infection

Jas Nagra (J5N) presents a scene of an Umgott infection with a small science team present at the scene. What a spendid mixture of biology and science!

Metabaron is no arachnophobe

Let’s just say that I’m not a huge fan of spiders. *shudder* But that doesn’t stop me from appreciating this great big arachnid by Metabaron:

Thanks for the tip, Paul Lee!
