The Mailbox Monster is a recurring Earthling in the ToeJam & Earl series.
The Mailbox Monster disguises itself as a normal Mailbox, but occasionally its eyes are visible. If approached, it springs into action, chasing the player making a 'brrrrr' noise. It can cause significant damage if it touches ToeJam and/or Earl.
Appearances[]
ToeJam & Earl[]
- "Most Earthling humans are completely unaware of the danger they are in every time they mail a letter. This is due to the nefarious mailbox monster. It disguises itself as a mailbox and sits and waits for unsuspecting victims to walk up to it to mail a letter.
If one is patient, one can always tell a mailbox from a mailbox monster by waiting and watching it. Sooner or later, a monster will reveal itself by blinking its eyes. Other ways to identify a monster include making it dance, shooting it and, of course, walking straight up to it and hoping for the best." - — ToeJam & Earl manual, page 29
The Mailbox Monster is encountered starting from level 4. Each level contains one mailbox, which is either a real mailbox or a mailbox monster.
ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth[]
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove[]
The Mailbox Monster appears and behaves much the same way as it does in the first game.
There is a 'fake' elevator which also disguises itself much in the same way as a Mailbox Monster. It snarls the same and also has similar teeth. If entered, the 'fake elevator' will desposit the player on the level below instead of taking the player up a level.
