This wacky wallower is wildly watchful and wakeful without pause. Presenting, a pestering peeper that persistently pecks and pecks and pecks. Presently, this palooka is prized in problem-solving, as its perfectly purges pinewood of prolific parasites preventing the pine from putrefying.

there is a land of the dingling people. It's people have hairy legs below their knees as well as horse hooves. They are adapt at running. According to the divine mists of Poetry quoted by Guo Pu, they can run three hundred li in a single day.

Gloso

In Swiss Christmas folklore the sow Gloso ("Glow-sow") expected to have offerings of wheat stalks left for her in the field at harvest time as well as fish heads and a bowl of porridge set out for her consumption on Christmas Eve. If these offerings were not left she would haunt the darkness beneath the table throughout the Twelve nights of Christmas. The eyes of Gloso were said to burn like twin coals and could be seen from some distance off; the bristles upon her back would also give off sparks as she walked.
Ebajalg

Ebajalg - Malignant air spirits, these monsters are found in the Northern European country named Estonia, and are said to relish in causing as much destruction and chaos as possible. They resemble whirlwinds, and have great physical strength as well as carrying various weapons from warriors that they have previously defeated.
Ellepige

Ellepige - Dwelling in densely-forested or mountainous areas across Scandinavia, these Norse faeries are thought to be closely related to elves or elementals, and usually appear as humanoids fashioned from mist. They can be hostile or benevolent, depending on how they are treated, but they are usually happy to interact with the surrounding human population.
Dahu

The **dahu** is a legendary creature that resembles a mountain goat and is well known in France and francophone regions of Switzerland and Italy, including the Aosta Valley. The dahu, a quadrupedal mammal, may have been inspired by the chamois, a small, horned goat-antelope once plentiful in European mountainous regions, and also resembles the ibex.

The dahu's principal distinguishing characteristic is that the legs on one side of its body are shorter than the legs on the opposite side, to facilitate standing on and walking on steep mountain slopes. In practical terms, the dahu's asymmetrical limbs allow it to walk around the circumference of the mountain *in only one direction*. Therefore, there are two different types of dahu: the *laevogyrous dahu,* with shorter legs on its left side, walks around the mountain counterclockwise; the *dextrogyre dahu*, with the shorter legs on its right side, walks clockwise around the mountain. Respectively, the terms *dahu senestrus* and *dahu desterus* have also been used.
Codrille

The Codrille, Cocadrille, or Codrille is a variety of basilisk or dragon native to central France, notably Berry, Maine, Poitou, Sologne, and Vendée. It combines features of basilisks and vouivres but without the redeeming aspects of either.

The name of the codrille was derived from the same etymological confusion that spawned the “cockatrice”. Starting with Crocodylus, the crocodile, practically a mythical creature in its own right, the name became progressively more garbled, becoming Cocodrillus, Cocodrille, Cocadrille, and Codrille. However, de la Salle derives it from *coco* and *drille*, meaning “rooster’s child”.

Unlike true basilisks, codrilles can grow to impressive size, becoming leathery-winged dragons at the last stage of their life cycle. The “crown” characteristic of basilisks manifests in the form of a brilliant gem on top of the codrille’s head. Codrilles can kill merely by looking at their victims, and emit an aura of disease and plague.
Glitch

Glitch - Malicious faeries, these creatures feed on the human aggravation and frustration caused by their ability to disrupt and damage computer technology for otherwise unexplainable reasons. They are very rarely seen in their true forms, and often simply manifest as inexplicable rogue electrical signals. The damage that they inflict on technology is impossible to get rid of unless a deal is struck with the creature.

Gobelinus

Gobelinus - Haunting Normandy's Évreux in France according to the medieval writings of Ordericus Vitalis, this demonic creature was not actually a faery or true goblin despite its appearance. It tormented the townsfolk until it made a fatal mistake in choosing to play a prank on Saint Taurin, assuming the form of a man in rags and then allowing itself to be baptised, causing the water of the river around it to boil. While others were stunned by the sight, Taurin simply exorcised the demon.

According to legend, the creature was capable of hunting silently, but would occasionally let out three terrifying barks, and only three, that could be heard for miles by those listening for it, even far out at sea. Those who hear the barking of the Cù-Sìth must reach safety by the third bark or be overcome with terror to the point of death.

There are clubs in several Palatinate cities which promote the myth of the Elwetritschen. The Elwetrittche-Club in Landau, formed in 1982, is the oldest club. A square dancing club from the same city calls its annual 'Dance-Special' the "Landauer Elwetrittsche-Jagd" (Landauian Elwetrittche-Hunt). There is also an Elwetritsche Academy in Pirmasens, a college for "Tritschology" in Dahn and an exhibition with figures of the mythical creatures in the Landauian zoo as well as in the zoo in Kaiserslautern.

El Busgosu

El Busgosu - Detailed in the Spanish mythology of Asturias and Cantabria, this satyr-like elemental is described as a humanoid creature with the hairy legs of a goat and horns, but is also sometimes represented as resembling more common faeries like elves.

It is believed by Hindus to be the vahana (or *vehicle*) of Brahma, Gayatri, Saraswati, and Vishvakarma.
Engineer-Rat

ENGINEER-RAT [TONNAGE-RAT]: Rats residing in the rickety rocky regions were rockslides reoccur on the regular.

Côco

Côco - Terrifying Portuguese faeries, these lanky creatures act as bogeymen, and lurk atop roofs and in shadowy corners in order to silently observe the behavior of children around them. If they are alerted to a misbehaving child, they will stalk the infant relentlessly and eventually consume them, leaving no trace at all. They are often the cause of sudden and inexplicable disappearances of children.
Colo Colo

The **Colo Colo** or **Colocolo** is an evil rat-like creature from Mapuche mythology. The marsupial monito del monte is sometimes called "colocolo" due to its similarity with the mythical beast.

The appearance of the Colo Colo varies depending on the region where the myth is told. Sometimes it is described as a feathered rat, sometimes as a snake or lizard with a rat's head, and occasionally it is just depicted as a huge rat.

The Colo Colo hatches from an egg laid by a snake, and incubated by a rooster. After hatching, the Colo Colo will hide in a house, where it will feed on the saliva of the residents. If the Colo Colo feeds from a person, that individual will feel exhausted; if the Colo Colo is not stopped, the victim may even die. It is also said that this creature can provoke several serious diseases.

The Colo Colo can be detected if someone of the house is feeling tired for no reason, or because of its cry, which is similar to an infant wailing. When it is suspected that a Colo Colo is in the house, a Machi must be contacted to exorcise the premises. Sometimes the only remedy is burning the building in order to kill the Colo Colo.
Diyu

**Diyu** (simplified Chinese: 地狱; traditional Chinese: 地獄; *"earth prison"*) is the realm of the dead or "hell" in Chinese mythology. It is loosely based on a combination of the concept of Naraka, traditional Chinese beliefs about the afterlife, and a variety of popular expansions and reinterpretations of these two traditions.

Diyu is typically depicted as a subterranean maze with various levels and chambers, to which souls are taken after death to atone for the sins they committed when they were alive. The exact number of levels in Diyu and their associated deities differ between Buddhist and Taoist interpretations. Some speak of three to four "courts"; others mention "Ten Courts of Hell", each of which is ruled by a judge (collectively known as the Ten Yama Kings); other Chinese legends speak of the "Eighteen Levels of Hell". Each court deals with a different aspect of atonement and different punishments; most legends claim that sinners are subjected to gruesome tortures until their "deaths", after which they are restored to their original state for the torture to be repeated.
Cuchivilu

This is the"Cuchivilu" of Chiloé Island.

Its name comes from the Mapuche words “cuchi”, pig and “vilu”, snake; it is a strong and unwieldy pig-like creature. It is considered a degenerate being (“piguchén”) that lives in caves by bogs and lakes.

It snorts like a pig and the upper part of its bulky body is pig-like while its rear resembles a snake. It drags itself along the sea shore destroying the fishermen’s traps and eating the fish that they hold.
Hinge-Tailed Bingbuffer

**HINGE-TAILED BINGBUFFER:** A bold and barbaric beast boasting a big bundle of broad pebbles packed perfectly in a peculiar, port-side pouch. This gravel is then gunned for a grim and grisly game. The territorial terrestrial then tucks its torpedoes on its tail's terminal tip, and, in sling-shot style, the scamp shoots its shells to snuff any survivors in a steady siege of stones.
Fideal

Fideal - Evil water faeries, these creatures resemble human females with bedgraggled hair and pale skin, and are said to embody entangling grasses and reeds.

Dendan

A gigantic, black scaled fish from Arabic folklore, the dendan were said to be fierce but would die if they came into contact with a human; even hearing the sound of a person's voice was fatal to them.

As their name would suggest, they are thought to be close relatives of the Bull-Beggars, and act as fear-feeding boogeymen just like them.
Curupira

Curupira - Brazilian faeries, these creatures lurk in deep forests and appear as small humanoids covered in fiery red hair, and have backwards-facing feet to confuse potential trackers.

Hokhoku

Hokhoku - Sometimes referred to as the 'Cannibal of the North', this massive bird is mentioned in North American mythology, and is depicted in tribal dances in which a priest dresses as one of the enormous creatures.

Galone

Galone - Thought to be the descendants of Garuda, these avian humanoids are classified as faeries despite their godly heritage, and are mentioned in the folklore of the Burmese people. They share a natural adversity with the nāga. It is the sightings and actions of these creatures that often leads to the Garuda being classified as a species of faeries rather than a group of deities.
Dullahan

Dullahan - Known to be the origin of the headless horseman myth, these Irish faeries carry their heads under their arms, and use a whip made from a human spinal chord as a weapon. They ride on dark black horses, and can move through walls and solid objects with ease. The only way to stop a charging dullahan is with pure gold metal.
Dusou

The dusou is a big owl-like bird in swiss folklore. It shouts to anyone passing it, saying "doumlou" (donne-le-moi, "give it to me"). One evening a mother, cradling her baby on the shoulder,

went home after a vigil spent in

a neighboring stable. A dusou screamed

insistently not far from her. She screamed back "Ven'te lou piê"! After a few steps, she felt the weight on her shoulder

lightly lightened: she looks at it and noticed

with fright that her child was no longer there.
Graeae

Graeae - Similar to the norns or other psychic crones, these ancient Greek humanoids take the forms of grey-haired women, and are known to only have one eye and one tooth between the three of them, which they constantly share in order to see into the future. It is said that the hero Perseus stole their eye whilst on a quest, so that he could ransom it and gain information from the strange faeries.
Djugwe

Resembling bower-birds in both their appearance and habits, these dinosaur-like faeries are known as spirits or deities from Australian mythology. They build intricate nests and display structures for potential mates, and are said to have taught the Aboriginal humans how to build houses in ancient times.
Danghu

Upper-Shen Mountain or Shangshen is a rugged, rocky peak with no vegetation on it, but there are hazelnut groves at its base. There, Danghu birds can be seen flying from branch to branch. A danghu looks like a pheasant, but it flies using its hypertrophied whiskers and throat feathers. Consuming a danghu protects from and cures myopia. Guo Pu extolled the virtues of the danghu, using it as a metaphor for the economical mindset of Daoism as it makes do with what it has.
Fée Marraine

Fée Marraine - Behaving in an extremely atypical manner when compared with other faeries, these beings are often referred to as 'fairy godmothers' and are mentioned heavily in classic fairy-tales. They are helpful and provide mentoring to young children that they accompany throughout their lives, and can use powerful magic spells to grant wishes and make life easier for people in difficult positions. There is some speculation that they may originally have been the ghosts of deceased parents or r
Himmapan

Himmapan is a famous mythical forest in Thailand art and folklore. The forest is said to be located in the Himalaya Mountains. (The word "Himalaya" in ancient Sanskrit means "abode of snow". Perhaps that's also how the name "Himmapan" was derived.) It is also believed that the forests are located below the Buddhist heavens and are invisible to the eyes of mortals, who can never approach or enter.
Hell-Kite

Hell-Kite - Mentioned in the English writings of William Shakespeare, these savage birds resemble eagles or their namesake kites, and are found in the skies above the fiery pits of Hell. They are equivalent to airborne hellhounds, and hunt down the souls of those that have previously made deals with demons.
Fauni Ficarii

Fauni Ficarii - Bloodthirsty evil Sicilian forest spirits, these ancient Italian faeries usually inhabit fig trees, and are known to assume the forms of nuns when they are seen by humans. Some sources suggest that they are instead more closely related to the Dusii or Satyrs, seeing as 'fig' was slang for female genitalia in Ancient Greek culture, and Satyrs are known for their sexual appetites. They are sometimes said to be so hideous in appearance that they can cause women to miscarry.
Gnieciuch

Gnieciuch - Closely resembling redcaps, these diminutive Polish demons guard large hordes of money, and behave in a similar manner to succubi, appearing to human victims at night and choking them as they sleep. They are very protective of their headgear, however, and will have no choice but to pay a victim in enough money to fit inside the hat if the hat is stolen when the monster attacks.
Cuegle

Cuegle - Snatching children from their beds and eating passersby, these monstrous Spanish faeries have three eyes and arms without fingers, as well as stubby horns on their foreheads. Strangely, they are repulsed by oak or holly leaves, and children are often given these plants to keep in their bedrooms as defense against the foul monsters.
Gaines

Gaines - Dressing themselves in old-fashioned clothing akin to what would be expected of medieval peasants, these forest-dwelling Italian elves are known to be expert weavers, and are often seen wearing tall, pointed hats made from animal pelts. Like most faeries, they will sometimes help humans if called upon, and the cloth that they weave with their magical spinning wheels is said to be a potent bringer of good luck. They are also capable of divining the future, and so are used as oracles.
El Yankopek

El Yankopek - Literally living at the bottoms of bottles and pitchers, these irritating Mayan household faeries are found in Yucatán and Central America, where they enjoy causing poltergeist-like havoc around households if they are not given water to quench their thirst. Among the pranks that they play are causing glasses to smash, making small but essential items disappear completely, and even directly manipulating the hands of children as to force them to break bottles and jars.
Cross-Feathered Snee

CROSS-FEATHERED SNEE: This frostbitten, feathered fowl flutters and flourishes on fashionably frigid and frozen furrows. For it is inclined to the inclement and inhospitable, iciness in its immensity. The nondescript nests in natural nooks nearing the nadir of the negatives and is native to the northwest of nowhere and, nearly as is known, is never noticed by nobody. Naturally, the nudnik is in need of a knoll nearly as nonsymmetrical as knowable. After all, this asymmetric avian animal always is aware of any level land lying lengthwise in a liner layout. Unfortunately, unless it is unbalanced underneath, it is unable to be upright, as, unluckily, its unequal extremities eventually end it edgewise. Effectively, the entity is exceedingly exhausted and entirely exposed in this event.
Dvorovoy

Dvorovoy - Inhabiting courtyards and gardens, these Russian faeries are known to befriend livestock and look after garden tools, though to be viciously spiteful towards any humans who might be interfering in their work. If this behavior is kept up by the human, then the creature will become malevolent, and make the livestock sick and the tools unusable. The only way to appease the angered faery is through use of a specific incantation.
Columbia river sand squink

**THE COLUMBIA RIVER SAND SQUINK**

*Anguillamvorax coruscens*

    Of limited distribution, but possessing most unusual characteristics. Reported to date only by prospectors, hunters and sheep-herders in the remote mountains of Washington. Built somewhat on the lines of a coyote, somewhat on the pattern of a bobcat, but with ears like a jack-rabbit. The tail is long and bushy, and is carried recurved along the back the same as a squirrel’s.

    A nightly prowler. Emerges after dark and sinks down to the river to fish. The Squink isn’t particularly fussy about its diet, but has a great fondness for electric eels. Probably on account of their higher pH content. When hungry it is a timid animal. But its courage returns after feeding, and it will then stalk boldly along the mountain trails until it sights a prospector returning from town. Thereupon the Squink will precede its victim by two or three rods, slowly waving its long tail and touching one ear and then the other. The previous few miles of travel on a heavy feed of electric eels generates a substantial charge of static, and these alternating contacts produce a series of brilliant discharges which invariably please and attract the traveler, who follows and is never seen again.

    Several nests of this animal have been located and carefully examined. They were all lined with portions of old inner tubes, while the eggs (for the Squink is oviparous) were shelled with bakelite..
Gobelin

Gobelin - Despite sharing their name with a sort of tapestry art, these small French faeries are completely unrelated to painting or creativity, and usually resemble diminutive old men that manage household chores in homes in Normandy. They are sometimes equated with goblins because of their similar names and vaguely analogous appearance, but they are actually more closely related to brownies.
Laura

Laura - Alternatively known as 'Laure', these ugly hags are known from Albanian mythology, and have the ability to shapeshift into the forms of numerous amphibious animals such as crocodiles and frogs. They are said to make horrific screaming and wailing sounds near roadsides and secluded bodies of water, but will vanish when they are approached. Dogs will pursue Lauras, and the hags seem to be frightened of the animals.
Diwata

Diwata - Similar to pagan gods, these powerful Filipino faeries are usually benevolent or neutral, though are also capable of causing serious misfortune or death for any people that may cross them. They are often prayed to or invoked in rituals to grant good fortune and crop growth, but also because of their amazing fighting skills and superior knowledge. There is some speculation that they may have once been deities that retreated to Earth to multiply in number and live among humanity.
Gurangatch

-Gurangatch

Gurangatch is described as being half fish and half lizard covered with beautiful shimmering scales of gold, green and purple. Living in a deep waterhole, his eyes shone up through the water light two bright stars. At midday Gurangatch would bask in the shallows and at night he would retreat to the water's depths. He is said to have created the wollondilly and wingeecaribee rivers and many underwater caverns in New South Wales by carving an escape route when he was being hunted.
Fiura

Fiura - Hideous female forest faeries, these Chilean creatures are thought to be the female counterparts of the trauco, and use their superhuman strength to break the bones of humans and animals that encroach on their territory. Sometimes they will grip onto the backs of male victims, and force them into having sexual intercourse using dark magic and charms. Once this has happened, the male will become corrupted and evil.
Derrick

Derrick - Uncommon faeries found on the roadsides and footpaths of the English area of Devonshire, these evil and duplicitous creatures are thought to be similar to dunnies, and their name is a corruption of an archaic term for 'dwarf'. They are mischievous and malevolent much like goblins, and derive pleasure from leading travelers astray, potentially into dangerous situations.
Famocantratra

The Famocantratra (as Flacourt describes it) or Famocantraton (in Dapper and subsequent works) is a small lizardlike animal found in Madagascar. Its name means “leaper at the chest”.

The famocantratra’s back, chin, and top of its neck, legs, and tail are made of small paws or claws which allow it to adhere to trees like glue. It is almost impossible to see as it sticks to trunks. Its mouth is always open to capture insects and other small invertebrates.

It will leap onto the chest of anyone who passes by, and it holds on so fast that the skin has to be sliced off with a razor. For this reason it is feared and avoided by the natives of Madagascar.
Encanto

Encanto - Thought to either be similar to deities or dryads and nymphs, these elemental faeries represent common elements such as earth, air, water and fire, and usually dwell in large natural structures associated with their respective elements. They are known to bring blessings upon those who are respectful of their element, but will viciously curse those who seek to abuse or damage them.
Garden of the Hesperides

The Garden of the Hesperides is Hera's orchard in the west, where either a single apple tree or a grove grows, producing golden apples. According to the legend, when the marriage of Zeus and Hera took place, the different deities came with nuptial presents for the latter, and among them the goddess of Gaia, with branches having golden apples growing on them as a wedding gift. Hera, greatly admiring these, begged of Gaia to plant them in her gardens, which extended as far as Mount Atlas.

The Hesperides were given the task of tending to the grove, but occasionally picked apples from it themselves. Not trusting them, Hera also placed in the garden an immortal, never-sleeping, hundred-headed dragon named Ladon as an additional safeguard. In the myth of the Judgement of Paris, it was from the Garden that Eris, Goddess of Discord, obtained the Apple of Discord, which led to the Trojan War.

In later years it was thought that the "golden apples" might have actually been oranges, a fruit unknown to Europe and the Mediterranean before the Middle Ages. Under this assumption, the Greek botanical name chosen for all citrus species was *Hesperidoeidē* (Ἑσπεριδοειδῆ, "hesperidoids") and even today the Greek word for the orange fruit is πορτοκάλι (Portokáli)--after the country of Portugal in Iberia near where the Garden of the Hesperides grew.

There are varitations of this folktale told all over Wales and Ireland, but the basic premise of a generous cow being used up by an avaricious or evil person, such as a witch, remains consitent. It is said wherever the glasgavlen walks grass grows greener, the hay is reaped in greater abundance, and the potatoes grow larger.

It is only seen, flying very high in the sky, certain afternoons, almost at dusk, as if waiting for children to sleep, to poison them by blowing the icy wind of death into their mouths.

The old Mayan sages explain in poetic words that Dtundtuncan means "he who goes through the sky", and that in reality, this repulsive bird is only one of the transmutations of the demon Kakasbal, whose powers of transformation are unlimited. It is also known as Kakaschuch, a word that means "evil bird".

Haietlik

The Haietlik ("lightning serpent") is a lightning spirit and legendary creature in the mythology of the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) people of the Canadian Pacific Northwest Coast. According to legend, the haietlik was both an ally and a weapon of the thunderbirds, employed by them in the hunting of whales. They are described as huge serpents with heads as sharp as a knife and tongues that shoot lightning bolts. A blow from a haietlik would injure a whale enough that the hunting thunderbird could carry it away as prey. The haietlik was variously described as dwelling among the feathers of the thunderbirds to be unleashed with a flap of the wings, or inhabiting the inland coastal waters and lakes frequented by the Nuu-chah-nulth people.

Because thunderbirds were said to use the haietlik essentially as harpoons, the lightning serpent was commonly associated with whaling in Nuu-chah-nulth culture. Whalers who carried the skin of this mythological creature in their canoe were said to have luck in whaling. British sailors visiting the Pacific Northwest in 1791 reportedly saw representations of the haietlik painted on the sides of canoes. Images of the haietlik also appear in petroglyphs on the coast of British Columbia and as decorations on whaling harpoons.
