In Griffin’s words:

“Lopside Land is a planet I created that has two rings around it that you can stand on. You can’t get there from earth because it would take millions of years to travel there. The mountains are so tall they look like giant spikes coming off of the planet. There are giant oceans of water, oceans of sand, ice plains, giant forests, and underground worlds. There are no cities in Lopside Land, except for the overgrown remains of an ancient, abandoned one.

In Lopside Land many things are alive, animated, and hungry! It’s a chaotic place. The sun and clouds have faces and feelings. Some food is alive and mobile. Sometimes houses can walk because of super advanced technology. The inhabitants of Lopside Land include animated trees that crawl on their roots like spiders. They don’t like people climbing on them so they will attack if someone tries to.

There are also some human-like people in Lopside Land. Four characters that live in Lopside Land are:

‘Kookie Cook’ – a chef that creates living food and lets it wreak havoc. If you go to his restaurant, never order a “monster special” because he MEANS monster.

‘This Guy’ – a jester that loves to create chaos. He’s a bit of a wild card. He can swallow cars and tables. He can fit an entire civilization in his pockets. His favorite weapons are “bomb bats”.

‘Sir Bonkers the III’ – a berserker who is missing a shoe. He enjoys battling bad guys with his axe.

‘Lightning Lord’ – controls all storms, he can control the movement of clouds, lightning, thunder, rain and hail.”
