Ok, so most folks are aware of the Latin phrase, 'hic sunt dracones', (or roughly, 'Here be dragons'), but I am looking for the equivalent phrase using the Latin word for monsters.

I know that the singular of monsters in Latin is monstrum, and I believe that the particular plural I need is monstra (i.e. 'hic sunt monstra'), but I want to be certain.

Any input from you fine folks far more versed in Latin than I am would be greatly appreciated.
