Let's talk about weird mythological monsters

[90's Child]

Why? Well, I was inspired by Scythemantis of bogleech.com, whom you may know as a member of this forum, and his articles on his website about (http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/www.bogleech.com/blather-sillyvampires.html) weird (http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/www.bogleech.com/blather-youkai.html) monsters (http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/www.bogleech.com/blather-sillyvampires.html) from mythology (http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/www.bogleech.com/nuckelavee.html), so I was thinking, why not do a topic on here about them. Tell us about monsters from mythology that you think are weird as all holy fuck.

My choice is the Bonnacon, a monster described by Pliny the Elder that shoots burning poop out it's rear end for 40 yards! Both horrifying and retarded.

In the town, or village (unsure how it should be labelled in english) where I grew up, there is this church that was built 800 years ago. It's protected by a ghost pig that will kill you if you try to enter it at night. When the church was built a big pig was buried alive in the cemetary, in order to create said ghost, which will then function as a supernatural watch dog against thieves for eternity. You'd think that the pig would rather deliberately let people in and help them to all the silver, just to get back at the congregation for burying it alive. But perhaps pigs, whether alive or dead, aren't smart enough to realize that. It's just forever pissed off and willing to attack anyone that comes at night.

There's also this little evil elf that has a big gold treasure somewhere in the woods. He travels around on a little wagon drawn by a black hen. If one manages to follow this elf with eyes constantly open until he gets back home, one can easily take the treasure. Only problem is there's a long ride to the elf's base-camp, so it's basically impossible not to blink during the entire walk. And if one closes one's eyes even for a milli-second the elf will vanish. As far as I understand, the elf doesn't have any reason for going into town in his little hen-ride in the first place except to taunt people.

I bet your own hometowns don't have anything like this to offer!

[Tadao]

Those are great. I really like the idea of ghost pig.

[b_squared]

A liger,pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic. :)

Either that or Manbearpig.

[Zomboid]

LOL NAPOLEON DYNAMITE I LUV THAT MOVIE

[the Platinum Poppy]

I know that in some zoo somewhere there really is a "liger"... apparently tigers and lions can get offspring together given the chance, only in nature they live in different habitats and never have the opportunity.
But I doubt it has any particular magic skills though.

[b_squared]

Any "liger" in a zoo is not a real liger. It's just an imitation, a liger created by man in his attempt to create a mythical beast.

I know because Napoleon told me so. You shold see his drawings of the magical beast. Freaking awesome.

[Tadao]

Poppy, has the legendary Jackalope reached your country yet?

[the Platinum Poppy]

Hm, I googled around and it seems like "Näcken" is peculiar to Scandinavia. So although everyone here knows about him perhaps he's new to you.

This is a creature who usually looks like a really hot guy, and lives underwater in rivers and lakes. He plays the violin more beautifully than any human being. He'll sit perched on a little rock in the water, naked, playing his violin, to lure women to him. But if anyone is stupid enough to wade into the water to reach him she'll get drowned. I have no idea why he's supposed to lure women out to be drowned like that. But according to the myth he has some kind of connection with Satan, so it's probably out of pure evil.
He can also shapeshift into a pretty white pony. When he wants to kill little children he'll prance around at the beach in that form, and if anyone is stupid enough to get up on his back to ride him he'll run out into the water and drown the kid.

I guess there's a moral here. Don't ride unknown ponies, and don't run straight into the water to unknown naked men no matter how hot they are.

[the Platinum Poppy]

Poppy, has the legendary Jackalope reached your country yet?

I haven't heard about it... what's it like? Perhaps it just goes under a different name here.

[The Leader]

The Jackalope is a Jack rabbit with antlers. People make 'em by attaching pieces of antler to the head of dead bunnies. That's pretty much it, no naked men or pigs or elfs.

Hey, that's just tasteless.

What if one attached antlers to a human corpse? Does that have a name too? Would it be a humalope?

[The Leader]

It would undoubtedly be yet another victim of the Jackalope strangler.

[the Platinum Poppy]

Skvadern: http://www.skvadern.com/Sajten/skvadern2.htm Half hare, half bird. The origin of the mythos are the bullshit stories of some hunter who lived at the beginning of the twentieth century and always tried to impress his buddies with the wildest hunting stories...

[Tadao]

It would undoubtedly be yet another victim of the Jackalope strangler.

:lol

[Evil Robot]

Do eskimos count as mythological creatures? Think about it, if you had never heared of eskimos before and somebody told you that there were people who live in houses made out of ice and eat nothing but whale fat you would say there full of shit right?

I live in Sweden. Grew up in this little town with about a thousand inhabitants, way out in the country. When I was nineteen I moved to Stockholm, where there are no ghost pigs or evil elves.

[the Platinum Poppy]

better known here as the Nixie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie) :eek

Hm... did a little google, but seems like "a nixie" is normally female?

Btw, a little town in northern Sweden holds an annual contest for... well... Näcken-look-alikes I think. Here's the link: http://www.näck.nu/ The photo is of last year's winner. Pretty weird, huh?

Chupacabra (goatsucker). Seems noone has seen a live one. But didn't the guy who killed this one see it alive at first? We should shoot Jesus the Magical Carpenter, the Shamwow guy and, Richard Simmons and maybe they'll become myths as well.

Though I am partial to the Jersey Devil myself, hailing from the depths of S. Jersey. I have a "I partied with the Jersey Devil" T-shirt around here somewhere.............

In the town, or village (unsure how it should be labelled in english)
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/village
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/town

I bet your own hometowns don't have anything like this to offer!

My hometown sadly does not. However Point Pleasant, West Virginia has the Mothman, who appeared in the sixties and scared the shit out of everyone:
http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo141/frenchiegirl16_2008/Mothman.jpg

A bridge collapsed in the town and killed 46 people not long he started appearing, and some people think that his presence was an omen.

Also, despite what some people say, there is no historical evidence that the town was cursed by Chief Cornstalk. I've seen that myth repeated on serious documentaries and it simply isn't true.
Hey, that's just tasteless.


Where's your sense of humor?
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u21/gm723/jackalope.jpg

Jeanette X, those links just explains that a village is smaller than a town, and a town is bigger than a village. *S*

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I think I have a documentary about him starring Richard Gere on DVD.

[Jeanette X]

Jeanette X, those links just explains that a village is smaller than a town, and a town is bigger than a village. *S*
Village: Small, clustered, usually doesn't have a local government, usually considered part of a larger town. Usually rural, though the term can refer to certain urban areas.

Town: Large settlement, has a local government. Usually a few thousand people, minimum. Term sometimes used interchangeably with large villages. Sometimes used to refer to cities.

Anyway, in Kentucky, little green men supposedly terrorized a community of people in 1955:

[the Platinum Poppy]

Okay, I come from a village then, without doubt. Less than a thousand inhabitants, one grocery store and no other shops of any kind. Surrounded by farmland.

Anyway, there should be a comic book of Moth Man vs Ghost Pig.

You struggle with simple concepts, don't you? Also all of those dead "chupacabras" are just coyotes with mange.

Btw... is it really a Moth MAN that statue?

And why doesn't the Minute Men member Moth Man look like that?

I don't think Pittsburgh has any mythological creatures. :(

I'd vote for the Dover Demon though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dover_Demon

Or the Loveland Frog: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loveland_Lizard

[kahljorn]

We have some mythological creatures like the HOSE NOZZLE STEALER. I've sighted these beasts at least twice. A homeless she-hobo who uses your hose to clean out her cans, looks like an aged sack of shit, and wears sexy teenager clothes (which she probably found in a trash can). Steals y our hose when you ask her to stop flooding your garden and killing your plants. Can be recognized especially by her annoying insane woman cackle which she does when you're not looking at her. She looks almost exactly like Gericault's insane woman but even more disheveled. I think she is a white woman who turned native american because of her exposure to the american sun.
Will someday be beaten to death with a hose by an angry me >:.

Then there's THE PARKING LOT POOPER. Poops in parking lots. Has never been spotted. Can be tracked by seeing huge wads of toilet paper all over and if you're brave looking closely which i dont i just walk the other way. But other people look. Always craps within 5 minutes walking distance of apublic park with public restrooms. Probably mentally retarded.
Will be beaten to death with a shovel used to shovel shit, by whoever is dumb enough to shovel that shit. I basically quit a job so i wouldn't have to deal with it anymore ;\

MORE MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES OF DOWNTOWN HABITATS COMING SOON

OH MAN THE BEST MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE WHICH HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND IS NOW HELD CAPTIVE. NAKED OBESE MAN WEARING A TURKEY FEATHER BELT IN SOME DUDES BACK YARD.

OTHER ANIMALS ARE AFRAID OF IT, EVEN DIRT FLEES FROM IT WHEN IT STANDS. IT GOES BY THE NAME KING GOBBLER. OR GOBZILLA. CAN COMMUNICATE WITH HUMANS THROUGH TURKEY DANCES.

[kahljorn]

the best thing about the necronomicon is that the symbol for banishing is the m iddle finger.

[DevilWearsPrada]

The only published 'necronomicons' are completely different than they are described in lovecraft's writing and seem to be a ploy to take crazy people's money.

ZQ's lesbian locker room story reminded me of the legend of BLOODY MARY!

You go into the bathroom and turn off the lights and close the door, then while facing the mirror you chant "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, I killed all your children." 3 times. After the 3rd time she appears in the mirror and tears at your face with her nails.

[kahljorn]

i tried that except looking into the reflection in a toilet when i was like six :(

[Tadao]

in high school, when we were changing after gym, the other girls turned off the locker room lights

[ZeldaQueen]

Umm...no actually they were just wandering around in the dark, pretending to be blind. Which is stupid, as we had all of three minutes to change. :rolleyes:

[Zomboid]

Only three minutes to get each other off? That is entirely too short. Give me your principal's number and I will see to it that this error is corrected.

[the Platinum Poppy]

That Bloody Mary story - I remember something similar was told in school when I was a kid. Apparently it's a global myth. But I think you were supposed to stand in front of the mirror and repeat "I'm not scared", and then some ghost would appear and... well, prove you wrong, I guess.

[LordSappington]

The way I knew it was just to repeat 'Bloody Mary' three times or so.

[executioneer]

well clearly you've been doing it wrong, now that you know you can get your face clawed off by a monster the correct way

[ZeldaQueen]

That Bloody Mary story went around my Middle School. I found it hard to believe, since there were probably loads of idiots who'd try it and get attacked (so you think there would be more victims).

On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing it's such a ridiculous idea. Otherwise there'd probably be a lot of copycats (or copybunnies).

Agreed.

An interesting fact, angels can actually be considered on the list of strange mythological monsters. There are the Thrones, which are basically giant glowing wheels covered in eyes, the Seraphim which are basically angels with six wings that just happen to be literally ON FIRE, and the Cherubim which nothing like the cutesey little baby-things one associates with the name but instead have 4 faces (That of a man, ox eagle and lion) and the feet of a calf, allong with 4 wings.

He obviously got an urgent summons from the Devil and had to return to Hell. His master was PO'd that he just lost a fiddling contest and revoked his computer privillages.

I dont know if this has been mentioned yet but Cthulhu

[90's Child]

Firstoff, Cthulhu isn't really from mythology so much as the stories of HP Lovecraft, and secondly there are much weirder Lovecraft Monsters, like The Great Race of Yith, the Mi-Go, the Elder Things, The Dunwich Horror, the list goes on and on.

my⋅thol⋅o⋅gy

Pronunciation [mi-thol-uh-jee] –noun, plural -gies.

1. a body of myths, as that of a particular people or that relating to a particular person: Greek mythology.

2. myths collectively.

3. the science or study of myths.

4. a set of stories, traditions, or beliefs associated with a particular group or the history of an event, arising naturally or deliberately fostered: the Fascist mythology of the interwar years.

I say again. If Greeks can have Mythology based on books from Homer, then we can have American Mythology based off books from Lovecraft.

Firstoff, Cthulhu isn't really from mythology so much as the stories of HP Lovecraft, and secondly there are much weirder Lovecraft Monsters, like The Great Race of Yith, the Mi-Go, the Elder Things, The Dunwich Horror, the list goes on and on.

I mostly think of Yog-sotthoth :)

lovecraft's shit is Mythopoeia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythopoeia_(genre)), not myth >: myths generally have a group of people who believe them to be true associated with them, and "retards on the internet" don't count as such a group

I know it's hard to believe, but it isn't just the netards that believe.

Actually, belief is the only thing that makes something a myth.
