The name of our first monster is Silizius.

Silicon is the second most common element on earth (after oxygen). It is everywhere around us: in sand, in pebble stone, in concrete, glass, clay etc. It is necessary for computer chips and solar cells.

Silicius the Monster is computer-nerd of the Elemonsters. As a mentor of the group he knows a lot and likes to hold lectures – a real busybody.
