Червь реки индName: Indus Worm
Area of Origin: Medieval Europe, Greece
The Indus Worm was a large, white carnivorous worm that resided around the Indus River in Asia. The creature appeared in many medieval European bestiaries, though it was originally described by the Greeks. The average length of one worm was said to be seven cubits (10.5 feet), and had two large teeth that closed like a clamp. During the day, the worm would burrow into the mud of the river, only to come out at night. It would often seize camels, oxen and sometimes people and It’d devour everything except the intestines. It could be caught with large hooks, and if hung up, oils would leak from its body, drying it up and killing it. The oil was reportedly very valuable and could keep anything aflame longer than any other substance.

НукелавиВ своей книге«Обитатели волшебной земли» Катрин М. Бриггс описывает представителя особенноотвратительной породы чертей, называемого «нукелави», одушевленное создание,которое являет себя в долинах Шотландии. Оно обитает в море, а на землювыезжает на коне, таком же отвратительном, как и он сам, так что многиеполагают, что нукелави с конем составляет единое целое. Его голова похожа начеловеческую, только в десять раз больше, рот как у свиньи, а на теле совсемнет волос, потому что кожи у него тоже нет. Дыхание нукелави смертельно длярастений и слабых животных, поэтому его часто обвиняют в том, что гибнет урожайили животное срывается со скалы. Один пожилой человек, утверждавший, что встретилоднажды нукелави, описывает его как огромное существо без ног, с волочащимисяпо земле руками и головой, которая так сильно вертелась во все стброны, чтогрозила оторваться. Хуже всего было то, что с него как будто была содрана кожа,а по обнаженной плоти извивались желтые вены со сгустками черной крови.

TzitzimitlName: Tzitzimitl (roughly pronounced Zee Zee Meel)
Area of Origin: Central Mexico; The Aztecs
In Aztec Mythology, A Tzitzimitl (plural: Tzitzimimeh) is a female deity associated with the stars. They were usually depicted as skeletal figures, often wearing skirts and decorative headdresses. In the most famous depictions, adorning their bodies are severed hands, and cut-out hearts, and appear to have pointed claws on both their hands and feet. Another odd detail is that they seem to have eyeballs growing out of different joints, such as the ankles, knees, wrists and elbows, though this differs between the different portrayals. They’ve been decribed as demons, though this doesn’t necessarily reflect their function in the Aztec belief system. Because the Tzitzimimeh were female, they were also related to fertility, and as such associated with other female deities such as Tlaltecuhtli and Coatlicue. They were worshipped by midwives and women in labor. Their leader was the goddess, Itzpapalotl who ruled over Tamoanchan, the paradise where these deities resided. Being associated with the stars, when stars would not be seen in the sky during solar eclipses, this was intepreted as Tzitzimimeh attacking the sun. This caused a belief that during an eclipse, they would descend down to earth to devour humans. They were seen as both protectors of the feminine and progenitors of mankind, and as such, were powerful and dangerous, especially in periods of cosmic instability.
