Seems I suck at doing this, so I need people's help designing some rather generic monsters for a story I am writing.
They gotta range from 3 to 10 feet tall
and can't have any real powers (they can have 1 or 2)
unless its some sort of more important one, then it can have a few

just use your imagination
you never know what you might unearth

What's the story genre? Are we talking cute or scary here?

Kalwholooump

A giant rabbit like monster with unusually large incisors(about 10" to 14" in length) that it uses to kill it's prey by pouncing on them. It's ears are hardened with a metallic cartilage that doubles as a biological radar that senses shifts in the air whenever something moves so a Kalwholooump can effectively hunt even in complete darkness. Males have longer, stiff tales while females have shorter, slightly fluffier tales. Young have grayish white fur while adults mature into shades of auburn and dark blond. They often feed on smaller animals but have been known to attack larger prey from time to time and lick up the exposed bodily fluids.
Adults are about 3'-4' in height and weigh about 200 lbs. They have been known to leap about 20' or more in single bounds.
Due to their slightly aggressive nature, they have killed people before by leaping onto them and impaling their incisors into victims craniums.

They got their name from the unusual sound of they make upon landing on hard soil when they grunt slightly from excess air suddenly being exhaled upon landing.

A bunch of cannabilistic, tiny, little fluffy critters with chipmunk tails that eat each other whole which leads to bigger and bigger ferocious, fluffy critters with an insatiable appetite to eat everything in their path.

It's nature is bat-like and spider-like. It reproduces asexually by implanting its already fertile eggs into an animal's body. It is carnivorous. Though its back legs lack feet, they are very good for running. It runs like a cockroach. Its wings are vestigial and do not allow it to fly. However, it can use them to glide downward after jumping off something.

Killer mice that live underneath tea cups. There are small ones that attack in groups but are easy to kill, and larger brown ones that attack alone but are more difficult to kill. (A subtle movie reference, besides the Alice in Wonderland one)

A giant blue caterpillar that spews poison gas from its mouth.

A cat with gigantic teeth that tries to eat you and has invisibility powers.

A different cat that water-skis and tries to run you over and gets more powerful by eating whole watermelons. (I'll be shocked if anyone gets this movie reference!)

How about some kind of troll/ogre that camouflage itself against its surroundings. Large, strong, hard to spot, so it's a challenge to fight, but at the same time slow and a bit stupid so it's not impossible to defeat it.

Or some kind of creepy floating octopus thing that can people trap in its tentacles, trapping their arms so they have to rely on their friends to rescue them?

A kind of colourful peacock-like bird that has some limited telepathic powers (influencing feelings rather than thoughts and used to make possible victims calm and lethargic) and can hypnotize people with the pretty pattern of its plumage?
