What is Rufus about?

Rufus is a monster, but he is not very good at being scary. He lives in a desert where there are no Peoply People to frighten, so he sets off to find one. His search takes him across land, sea and air, where he meets plenty of unusual monsters but not a single human. Will Rufus ever find someone to scare, or will his journey reveal that being a monster might mean more than making people run away?
