For the past couple of weeks, my daughter has been scared of monsters during both day and night. She would wake up screaming at 4am saying there are monsters and dinosaurs in her room. It was starting to get out of hand when she believed they were in our backyard.
The other day we watched the 80s movie, The Last Unicorn, and she saw how a small unicorn was able to defeat a massive flaming bull. Using that idea, we decided to dedicate a small toy of hers that resembled the unicorn (it was a little pink and white Pegasus stuffed toy) and told her it would protect her from any monster by putting it to sleep. We named him Glidicus.
She now takes him with her anytime she feels scared. She has more confidence and now she can sleep through the night again. There are no longer monsters outside because Glidicus has put them all to sleep ;)
