Pocket dungeon? I guess you could still just say pocket monsters, really. This was a fun excercise!
image quality not far removed from dog shit so close ups under cut
couple folks got a little confused so heres the list:
laios: sawsbuck autumn
falin: sawsbuck winter
chilchuck: salandit
marcille: delphox (?)
senshi: hisuian arcanine
izustumi: Eevee that got killed and spliced into what should have been a mew but turned out sort of like a mewtwo. Later evolved into an umbreon with Shuro

"She told me Gabe had left mysteriously—disappeared off the face of the planet, in fact. She'd reported him missing to the police, but she had a funny feeling they would never find him." (drawn while recording the first episode of the monster donut podcast!)

After my post on New York, I got really curious about a bunch of other monster media locations.
New York City area is a popular spot because: long history of immigration on the east coast (pointed out by @jedipirateking) high population, variety of cultures, one of the oldest cities in post-colonial America.
California is the second most popular spot: long history of immigration on the west coast, high population, variety of cultures, large amount of immigration on west coast.
Massachusetts is a hot spot for Witch media (Salem witch trials)
Kansas being nearly the center of the USA is a good spot for isolation and very Americana aesthetic.
Lilo and Stitch being set in Hawaii not only makes it that much more special, but the fact that it is one of the few set there is why we need to support more native writer's work (it's just good to support native writers in general).
In general, it would be fun to see monster media take place in more spots in America. There is so much history and culture to reflect on in these kinds of stories.
That's why I put up my webcomic Legend Catcher, being in the northwest I didn't see enough stories set there. Growing up they were big into environmental/forestry education and that has seeped pretty deep into my work.
If there are any others I missed, please add them in!

The whole “make a monster version of a regular animal by prefixing its name with a scary word” bit doesn’t really work with birds because bird names are just Like That. Tell me I’m going up against a blood horse and I’ll grant that this would probably scare me, but a blood raven, well, that’s just a guy. I am 100% prepared to believe there’s an actual bird species by that name.
