Monster Month: Kumiho
This is the nine-tailed fox *glares at Naruto fans to stop them from interrupting* from KOREAN mythology. Yes, it is similar to the kitsune from Japanese mythology, but it’s called the Kumiho. Let’s get that right out in the open. … Continue reading

Monster Month: Grootslang
So . . . The Grootslang is a thing. It’s definitely . . . A sight to behold. Also, I’m fairly certain at least one person’s mind went to a talking alien tree that I think talks about the power … Continue reading

Monster Month: Kurage-No-Hinotama
I debated giving a day to this monster, but I really liked the concept. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much in the way of lore. It definitely stems from Japanese mythology and seems to be a yokai. Yet, I found more … Continue reading

This creature comes from Japan and it is what they call river otters. These fall into the category of yokai, which are Japanese demons. Known to be tricksters, they are similar in habits to kitsune (foxes) and tanuki (coming on … Continue reading

Monster Month: The Hodag
This one comes straight out of Rhinelander, Wisconsin. I was surprised about how big and popular this monster was after I starting looking around. So, what is a Hodag? First, let’s talk about the Hodag’s origin. It is considered a … Continue reading

Monster Month: Zilant
As you can tell from the picture, this is some kind of dragon. It has been the symbol of Kazan, Russia since the 1730, so it has a solid reputation. Although, it has changed over the years from what I’ve … Continue reading

Monster Month: Skolopendra
This was a headache to research because ‘Scolopendra’ is the family of large tropical centipedes. Considering this creature is a sea monster, you can imagine how tough it was to find a semi-decent picture. Everything was centipedes until I added … Continue reading

Monster Month: Akhlut
Starting off October’s monster theme, I’m going with a creature from the frozen north. It is part of Inuit mythology and not the easiest thing to find a picture of. To be honest, I got all of these monsters off … Continue reading

The Muses: Still Inspiring Humanity Today?
I was originally going to do a ‘Muse Shop’ post, but I got to thinking about the actual Muses. People use the term a lot, but it ends up being for a personalized, nameless figure instead of a specific being. … Continue reading
Monster Month: Indus Worm
Here we are at the final day of monsters. I remember stumbling onto this guy years ago, but promptly forgot. For any fans of modern fiction, the Indus Worm might make you think of the Graboids from ‘Tremors’ or the … Continue reading
