I Feel Like I Gotta Clarify That Yes Japan Does Have A Cryptid That Is Just A Fat Snake

The Irving family posed many questions to Gef the Talking Mongoose to try and get his answers. Once, among all their questions, the Irvings asked Gef if he knew what death was. To which, his voice replied simply, “Yes, a changeover.” 

Said to reside in Normandy, particularly the commune of Bayeux, is the legend of the Rongeur d’Os. This large black dog’s name can be translated to “Bone Gnawer” or “Gnawer of Bones”. The Rongeur d’Os is said to drag a long chain behind it and always have a bone in its mouth. Like many black dog legends, the Rongeur d’Os is said to be an omen of death and strikes fear into travelers that it comes across. 

Here’s my little thylacine figurines! I’ve just finished stringing a bunch. Theyre kind of BJDs (they’re smaller than the more articulated BJD thylas I posted the other day). I’ve just listed a few on my website: www.palaeoplushies.com

Midnight Monster Bestiary • 4/? - Church Grim 

 A black dog spirit that guards church graveyards and is an embodiment of demonic and spectral energy.  

#20 -  Dobhar-chú

The Dobhar-chú is a vicious lake cryptid of Irish folklore. Roughly translated as “water hound” is described as being half-dog, half-fish, or as something resembling a very large otter, up to two metres in length. The creature is said to be extremely aggressive and capable of killing humans. There even exists a grave in Conwall cemetary in County Leitrim, Ireland of a woman supposedly killed by the Dobhar-chú, with a carving of the creature featured on her headstone.

The photo was one of three purchased at Salamanca Market in Hobart over 20 years ago. [x]

Creepy horses man, they creep me out just enough to want to paint them.
