“Monster of the Week - Punch the Elf off that Shelf” is a standard oneshot led by Nona.

There Are Monsters Out There Most people don't believe in monsters, but they're real. When someone finds out monsters are real, it's usually just before they get eaten. But some people are mean enough, smart enough, crazy enough, or hurt enough, that they live. And some of those survivors go on a crusade against the monsters. That's you. It could be that you make a stand and defend your hometown from everything evil that comes there. It could be that you take to the road and go hunt them down, wherever you can find them. It could be that you have magic powers to put you on an even footing. It could be that your name came up in prophecies thousands of years ago. No matter how or why, the one sure thing is that you aren't gonna go back to your old safe life. You and your fellow hunters aren't normal people; not even normal for monster hunters. You are the ones who stand out, larger than life and twice as badass. You can change the world – save it, destroy it, or alter it forever. One way or another, you will make a difference. Today's Monster of the Week mystery takes place around Christmas time! The premise: Elfon T. Shalf is pissed. He looks just like the Elf on the Shelf that parents use to scare children into behaving around Christmas time. That’s because he is the original. Someone saw him and used his likeness without his consent and they then sold the idea to make millions! Elfon has spent years tracking them across the country as they have fled from him but he believes he has finally found them. Now he’s going to exact his revenge in the middle of Santa’s Grotto at the local Christmas market. Can you stop him?
