    423: Japanese folkore: The Illusionists
    Dec 3 2025
    👹Something is lurking in the forest temple👹 While the country outside is rocked by the changes in the world, a village grapples with the idea that a monster of a land that's nearly gone still lurks in their midst.

    😈 The Creature: Boraro

    Watch out or he'll turn you into a human Capri-Sun

    422: Scottish folklore: Witchful Thinking
    Nov 19 2025
    🧙‍♂️So you've decided to steal from a witch or wizard🧙‍♀️ Are you sure about that? If you are, you might want to think about what you're going to do more than the characters in today's stories from Scotland and Norway. Especially if, like them, you end up stealing way more than you bargained for.

    😈 The Creature: ewaipanoma

    The headless friends of all the children in South America. No you can't see them. Why would you even ask. Oh, you didn't? Well, you still can't see them.

    421: Viking Legends: Famous
    Nov 5 2025
    🔥All the Viking warriors' hearts burn with love for Nítíða🔥 And also the rest of them is on fire as well because that's what happens when you try to kidnap a maiden-king.

    😈 The Creatures: Henkie

    The henkie is dancing with itself. When it's not watching you sleep, that is.

    420: Korean Grim Reaper: Saja Boys
    Oct 22 2025
    ⚰️It's Halloween⚰️ What do you do when death comes for you? Well, the characters in today's stories have a lot of ideas, and they're surprisingly successful. The problem? Death works on a much, much longer timeline.

    😈 The Creatures: Bulgasari

    Why you don't feed your rice monster metal needles. Unlike most pets, it will be fine. You'll be in trouble, though.

    419: Slavic folklore: Bad Heir Day
    Oct 8 2025
    🪉Ivan fights wizards and monsters and Baba Yaga with a music streaming subscription🪉 What do you get when your daughters have been kidnapped by a sleezy cloud and your son not only spends all of his days jamming with his self-playing harp, but DOESN'T want to tear the heads off his friends? You get Tsar Wisehead, who apparently just figured out that parenting is hard.

    😈 **The Creature: Garm

    Garm is serious about his job, and that's unfortunate because that job involves blood splatters and the end of the world.

    418: French stories: Our Son, Ourson, the Bear
    Sep 24 2025
    🐻Ourson is a Beary Good Guy🐻 Sorry, I couldn't resist, but he is actually a good guy. He isn't a bear though. He just looks like one to people who have probably never seen a bear, because he's kind of just a very hairy kid. He's like that because his mom kicked a toad that wasn't a toad and the toad cursed him. Don't worry, it'll make sense (mostly).

    😈 The Creatures: Ga-Gorib

    A monster who does bad by tempting people into murdering...themselves?

    417: Guy of Warwick: Don't Be That Guy
    Sep 10 2025
    🛡️This Guy?🛡️ This guy is Guy of Warwick, and he's your guy. But only if you need someone to be the best guy in the world at fighting and killing. It's just too bad Guy hates being that guy.

    😈 The Creature: Freybug and the Barguest
    Two black dogs who might give you wounds that will never heal, or maybe just stand there awkwardly until you leave.

    416: Hans Christian Andersen: Humbugs
    Aug 27 2025
    🪲They're not so different🪲 One is the king of the world, and the other is a beetle. One wants to fight God, the other wants to wear golden horse shoes. When it comes to being completely arrogant and insufferable, though, they have more in common than you might think. It's two fairy tales of pride and power from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.

    😈 The Creature: The Elle-folk

    They're NOT elves. They just look and act like them and have a very similar name but if you say they're elves hope you enjoy your VERY sick cow.
