The biggest costume in The Masked Singer history is set to be revealed, which is fitting in the supersized The Masked Singer season 10. So who is Cuddle Monster in The Masked Singer season 10? Let's see what we can figure out. 

When we say "biggest" we mean biggest. Not the biggest reveal, mind you, but literally the biggest costume ever. In a video clip below, you can see that Cuddle Monster towers over host Nick Cannon, who stands at six feet tall.

Who is Cuddle Monster on The Masked Singer season 10? Show clues

Trolls Night Clues: 

Clue: "Champ" "This clue should shed light on who I am," he said.

Voiceover clue: "Me? A wild card? It’s gotta be destiny, because I was definitely a wild child. I grew up in a beautiful but sometimes violent place. But lucky for me, I got out because of my passion. A generational talent. I had sponsorship deals, sneakers, even a record or two. Despite all that fame and recognition, my trauma was keeping up with me and I couldn’t quiet the monster inside. I was self destructive during the peak of my career. I couldn’t figure out why I was always unhappy and defensive. So I took a giant step and asked for help. I learned the tools to tame the rage through meditation and positive energy. Never let your circumstances determine your fate. Sometimes, all you need is a change in perspective and persona to let your inner cuddle monster sing."
