I like the shark, the squid(?) is kinda creepy, and the caterpillar looks like it's someone in a caterpillar suit.

These must be the new villians in the next movie!!!!! :D :lol:

I honestly don't know how he does it, but when Toriyama want's to put depth into a drawing, he does it as well as anyone!

The print's too fuzzy, but one of those guys is described as giant. I guess they're having other Jump authors draw monsters for Toriko's anniversary(?), or a congrats for reaching so many volumes.

These are special illustrations of "ingredients" in the Toriko Official Fanbook "Volume 29.5". I'm pretty sure the accompanying descriptions in the book itself are Toriyama's, as well.

Can't read the descriptions very well, but the names are "Baby Kraken" for the jellyfish one and "Giant Jaga Imomushi" (a pun on jagaimo, potato and imomushi, caterpillar).

And to tie this in with Dragon Ball, before Mike closes the topic, it's a sreal shame these guys didn't exist at the time of the DBxTxOP special. It would have been great to feature the other artists' monsters, even if they were just as food on the table or something.
