Inhumanoids was a 13-episode Western Animation show by Sunbow that aired in 1986. Like most 80's cartoons, it naturally had an accompanying toyline. The main story focuses on a group of scientists called the Earth Corps. An enormous monster, called D'Compose, is discovered encased in amber in the Big Sur. By taking him out, they don't realize that they have unleashed evil on their world. Following that, many more discoveries of grotesque monsters happen. Tendril and D'Compose are two of those eldritch abominations. With the help of The Redwoods, they try to put down the monsters again.
