Just found out about the Rougarou. Shit rules man. Try saying Rougarou without having fun.

For those who don't know the Rougarou is a cajun/french werewolf legend.

Anyone else monster brained? What are your favorite ones?

    Mothman

    Shows up, collapses a bridge, leaves

    That's all of me in a nutshell right there

      I don't really know anything about the mothman tbh except I watched some movie with Richard Gere about it when I was a kid I think.

      Looking into this. very-smart

        The Mothman Prophecies was really more about the general state of weirdness around Point Pleasant around the collapse of the Silver bridge

        There are a lot of stories about weird things going on, especially the stuff going on with Indrid Cold, but Mothman is straightforward

        Big thing with wings, doesn't even look like a moth, flies around being ominous

        It's perfect

    Bigfoot! Hence why I made the comm icon Bigtoe itself. Out of all the myths and legends out there I tend to think there might be some credibility when it comes to it. indigenous peoples have passed down wild man stories for centuries and there's been so many sightings, idk. Second favorite is the grey alien because it's so mysterious.

    I'm mothman-pilled these days, but back in the day I loved some of the nonsense shit from Pliny the Elder. My favorite creature was the Abarimon, a savage mountain man with backwards feet that runs at insane speeds.

      I'm the backwards man, the backwards man, the backwards man, I can walk backwards as fast as you can

    Moth man but it’s ghost boy’s hypothesis where the town was dosed with acid and it was a giant bat from the Philippines

        Vampires are cool but tbh I'd rather be able to eat garlic than have enteral life

        What's the point in life if you can't have tasty food

    I like Kappas. Read a lot of kwaidan and ghost stories as a kid like I was a prepper memorising rules for the monsterpocalypse or something and kappas always struck me as so goofy and cute, like they have this divit in their head that has water in it that gives them energy, but if you bow respectfully to them, they will reciprocate and spill the water from their heads and become lethargic. Also they apparently really like cucumbers (who doesn't) so people will toss them into waterways to placate them.
