Premise

The show revolves around a young yellow monster named Henry Hugglemonster and his family, who live in a village called Roarsville. Other places characters come from include Growlsberg [5] and Growltown. [6] Henry has a best friend named Denzel Dugglemonster and a monsterette [7] friend named Gertie Growlerstein. Henry's experiences with his family and friends often lead to trouble, so Henry must use his problem-solving skills to find a way to resolve the conflicts he is presented with in his daily life. This gives him the opportunity to learn valuable lessons every day. Every episode features one or more original songs.

Common Sense Media stated that many of the episodes include "basic preschool skills like counting and sequences". [8]

Locations

The Airship takes monsters to the following locations above. It is a red blimp, except the balloon is much smaller than the gondola. Unlike most modern blimps, this airship has a metal rudder connected behind the back window, similar to a boat. Captain Hollander pilots the airship, and is one of the very few transportation methods in Roarsville besides bikes, canoes, and skateboards.
