Monstrous sound effects

Hello.
Can anybody give me ideas on how to create something like this ? It's the voice of an enemy in a videogame.
It sure sounds like they mixed pink noise, overlaid a -12 pitch on itself, added some distortion, and maybe echoed it to give it a bit robotic voice. But no matter what I do, I can't get it sound like this.

Thx for any help.

I can tell you right away they didn't do a straight Pitch Shift because I can still understand the sibilants in the speech -- SSS and FFFF. Those go first making the speech trash. But I agree, this is the same technique used on that Geico commercial.

Effect > Vocoder??

I'm trying to think of a way to generate noise so it does most of the work for you. You can't just pitch that down. It turns to mud.

Don't know about the noise -- but the 'Monster' part sounds like an octave dropper. A buddy of mine had a guitar effect pedal that did that and when you mic'd in your voice through that and out to the speaker, that's what it sounded like. Good for scaring the kids who came to the door at Halloween time.
