Don't mess with the raging and ravenous Slothzilla. It may seem like it wants to hug the empire state building, but this [gigantic monster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-by-monsters-now-and-then) can cause more damage with a swipe of its slow-moving hand than you might imagine.

Somewhat a divergence from the [classic Godzilla of lore](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-can-designs), this sloth version plays on the current popular obsession with the lazy tree-lurker, demonstrating a shift from the fear of a disastrous takeover to laughably ludicrous critters who just want to cuddle.

Artist and [t-shirt designer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx) Sharpshirter has released this line of three prints that can be found at the Lost at E Minor online shop, depicting Slothzilla going rogue with acts like taking down the Titanic.
