Alien Octopoids

Image
  On August 16, 1968, in the Spanish countryside near Tivissa, John Mateu, an ordinary farmer, was going about his morning routines. It was 6am and the sun had just risen over the horizon. On a nearby hill some lights caught John Mateu’s eye. He assumed this was someone having car trouble and went up the hill to help them.  When Mr. Mateu reached the top of the hill he saw a dome shaped UFO, which he described as shaped like ‘half a watermelon’. The lights were coming from the flat bottom of the spacecraft, which hovered only 4 feet off the ground.  While observing the UFO Mr. Mateu noticed two creatures came running for the UFO. He described them as having bulbous bodies that stood on top tentacles, somewhat like an octopus. However they had grimacing faces instead of just a pair of eyes on their fronts. As well they had either four or five tentacles, that they stood upright on like legs. The aliens were only three feet in height.  The two aliens entered the space craft via a ramp whi

Chicago Birdman

Image
  Most people have heard of the Chicago mothman sightings that happened between 2011 and 2018. Occurring among those events was as strange variation of flying humanoid. This isn't that surprising however, as the original Point Pleasant mothman flap involved many strange sightings of UFOs and creatures besides just the mothman itself, This sighting happened in 2015 in Howard Heights Illinois, a small town located near Chicago. Greg, no last name given, was coming home at 1:30 am,  from a late shift at work. He first spotted the monster when he pulled into his driveway. The creature was standing motionless in his backyard.  Overall the creature looked similar to mothman. It was black all over and had wings instead of arms, with an overall human frame. Although the body was  disproportionately small and its head disproportionately big. The creature had an elongated snout that tapered down to a point, similar to the cartoon characters in the old Spy vs Spy comics. It also had black bea

This monster was a fiery centaur. It had pale, corpse-colored skin all over its body. The mane and tail were made of fire covering its body. Its eyes burned with a sulfur blue. The monster stood six feet tall at the top of its head. The centaur carried a sword in one hand and a torch in the other.   The fiery beast was seen by a prominent tobacco merchant, who wished to stay anonymous after his sighting.

Striga

Image
  A striga is a vampire like demon from Slavic and Polish folklore. It has owl like features, such as feathers, golden eyes and bird like talons. It can also shape shift into an owl at will. Strigas are strictly nocturnal, coming out at night to feast on the blood and flesh of the living. A striga comes from a person, usually female, that was born with two souls. This person will have various signs that they have two souls, usually having duplicated body parts, such as having two rows of teeth or two heartbeats. If this person is found out in life, they will be cast out of society to go die in the wilderness. If they're not found out they will continue to live like a normal person while they're still alive. On death one of the souls moves onto the afterlife while the other stays trapped in the body. When this happens the stiga begins to transform. They'll start out looking like they did in life, just with pale grey skin. Over time they will transform, gaining long need

Hiiden Hirvi

Image
  The hiiden hirvi is a monster from Finland. It was an artificial moose created in the underworld to test the hero Lemmink ä inen. It was created from bones, hide, soil, tree roots, moss and creeping vines, anything associated with the soil and underground. The hiiden hirvi was also considered unnatural because it didn't have a mother. Overall the beast is supposed to be eerie and unsettling. As well the hiiden hirvi is supposed to be a moose. Moose are called elk in Europe, but I didn't realize this until after I drew the picture, so you got a wapiti instead. Often it's said the hiiden hirvi was created by goblins, which is a miss-translation of hiisi. Hiisi actually means a spring, cave, graveyard or any other sacred space relating to the underworld. So underworld spirits is more accurate. Although they would be considered corporeal living beings, not ethereal like spirit implies in English. The hiiden hirvi's creation was ordered by the goddess of winter and night

Zburator

Image
  The zburator is a type of demon from Romanian mythology. The name means flyer. The zburator's true form is that of a wolf with draconic features and bat like wings. It's often depicted with fire as well, either being surrounded by flames, or having a mane or tail of flame. This is especially prevalent when the zburator flies across the sky at night in the form of a shooting star. The zburator is capable of shape shifting. Most often it takes on the form of a handsome young man. It uses this capability to visit women at night and temp them into sleeping with it. The zburator most favours women who are engaged, or otherwise in a relationship but not married yet, and takes great delight in convincing these women to cheat on their partners. Zburators are often invisible to all except the women they pursue. Zburators drain their victim's life force through sex, much like an incubus. This leaves their victims tired, pale and anemic. Zburators are often compared to vampires, e
