- "This apparition is practically impossible to capture unless it inhabits an inanimate object. Luckily, inanimate objects are its favourite things to live in. Once inside, the Vapor Monster seemingly brings the object to life."

Vapor Monsters are monsters made of vapor which can inhabit, possess and bring to life inanimate objects.
History[]
The Good, the Bad, and the Ickie Doll[]
At an unknown point, a scarecrow was possessed by a Vapor Monster.
The possessed scarecrow went on a rampage on a country road, but was run over by Mr. Stockley's car, destroying it. With the scarecrow destroyed, the Vapor Monster left it (turning the scarecrow inanimate again) and stowed away on board a passing delivery truck full of Ickie Dolls.
The Vapor Monster possessed all of the Ickie Dolls, causing them to mutate and animate after sunset into vicious, gremlin-like monsters and go on a midnight rampage.
Using Felix's music, the Troop are able to lure all the possessed Ickie Dolls into an isolated room and extract the Vapor Monster from them, returning the dolls to normal and capturing the Vapor Monster.
Behavior[]
A Vapor Monster is a parasitic fog that invades and take control of inanimate objects once night fall. They are vicious and will attack humans at any given opportunity. When no humans are around, A Vapor Monster that has entered an object will exhibit generally destructive and chaotic behavior, as seen when the possessed Ickie Dolls caused damage to things around them.
Biology[]
Appearance[]
Vapor Monsters look like clouds of glowing, green vapor. Although intangible in their true form, Vapor Monster leave behind trails of green slime like the sample which Hayley brought to the troop lab for examination.
When a Vapor Monster takes control over an object, the object takes on a monstrous form that can be vary greatly depending on the object, although growing sharp fangs seems to be a common feature.
Special Abilities[]
Vapor Monsters are intangible and can inhabit and bring to life inanimate objects when the sun goes down. It has also been shown that one Vapor Monster can inhabit more than one object at once. In its true form, a Vapor Monster is almost impossible to capture or destroy due to its immateriality.
Weaknesses[]
Vapor Monsters can be extracted from their hosts and shows an attraction to music (particularly accordion) which puts them in a hypnotic trance.
When Mr Stockley pulls up the description of the Vapor Monster on the troop computer, the report states that a Vapor Monster can also be destroyed, but that is only possible while it has taken control of a host. It is not known what method can be used to destroy a Vapor Monster, but physical damage doesn't seem to affect it as the Vapor Monster was completely unharmed when Mr Stockley drive over the possessed scarecrow with his car.
Trivia[]
- The Ickie Dolls under the possession of a Vapor Monster appear to be based off the creatures from Gremlins.
