Answer: NIGHTLY

The puzzle presents solvers with chopped-up images from Polygon’s Monster Factory YouTube series, along with chopped up words which solvers should be able to identify as the names of each of the monsters in the images.

The first step in solving the puzzle is to “stitch” back together each of the monsters and similarly reassemble the monster names from the name fragments. The correct monster images and names are:

JUS TIN RUD EBO YMA NJO RST IN
TUR BOV ICKI
COU SIN SPE CIA LAG ENT
CMD RTR UCK SHE PARD
CHR IST OPH ERC HRI STO PHE RTH EPE BBL ECH RIS TOP HER CHR IST OPH ER
THE FIN ALP AM
THE BOY MAY ORO FSE CON DLI FE

Each image is cut into a different number of pieces, which give you an index into the reassembled monster names, as shown here:

The order of the first seven name fragments give the correct ordering of the letters to spell the answer word. Each of those seven name fragments is the first (or second in ambiguous cases) name fragment from one of the monsters. All other name fragments are in alphabetical order. The answer word is NIGHTLY.
