Insectosaurus, or simply known as Insecto, is a character in Monsters vs. Aliens. She is the Missing Link's pet.
Transformation
Insectosaurus was a one-inch grub transformed by radiation into a 350-foot monster that attacked Tokyo. She was captured in 1969 and formed a close bond with the Missing Link, who is the only person that can understand him.
Personality
Originally, Insectosaurus was nothing more than a simple grub with no unique characteristics, but after her mutation she donned an almost mammalian-like appearance similar to that of an orange hamster with a massive overbite, four pincer-like arms, antennas, two stubby feet, and a short reptilian-like tail. Insectosaurus is a massive creature in size even dwarfing the giant Ginormica. After her metamorphosis near the end of the film, Insectosaurus' appearance is changed to that of a more butterfly-like creature (similar to Mothra of Godzilla fame) while still possessing her hamster-like face, furry body, massive overbite and reptilian-like tail.
Beginning to Die
Monsters vs. Aliens
After trying to save Susan from Gallaxhar's trap, she is blasted with Gallaxhar's laser and assumed dead. She later turns out to have only metamorphosized into a butterfly and saves the monsters right before Gallaxhar's ship explodes.
