Squoonk

Squoonks are named so because of their mating call, which takes the form of a very loud "SQUOOONK!" Although they originally came from a primitive, jungle dwelling society on an under developed planet, Squoonks have adapted to technological life quite well. They tend to employ themselves as artists, musicians, interpretive dancers, and game designers. They have the vocal inflection to speak most human languages, but have a tendency to interject random exclamations of "Squoonk" into their speech patterns.

Penanggalan

The Penanggalan is a variation of the Vampire from Malay. During the day they appear as normal people, but at night the head will detach (with trailing entrails) and fly about seeking victims. The Penanggalan usually chooses newborn mothers and small children to prey upon - when a child is born the creature uses an abnormally long tongue to lap up blood from the mother. The victims of the Penanggalan usually die of strange diseases, and become Penanggalan themselves.

This creature is called by many different names in surrounding countries:

Indonesia: Leak
Thailand: Krasue
Cambodia: Arb

Unlike these similar creatures, the Penanggalan is always female.

Baconoid

Bacon is bad for you!

Hornapillar

Small caterpillars which communicated through blaring honking noises. Hornapillars are named as such because of the horn-like orifices on on their heads and ears. They are generally harmless, despite the obnoxious noise pollution they produce.

Mandragora

Small dolls or figures given to witches by demons, to be used as a familiar spirit. A Mandragora is usually small, made of wood, or constructed from the Mandrake plant. Although they could essentially perform any task made to them they were usually used in divination rituals.

Carrion Grub

Carrion Grubs are large, vicious, slow moving worm-like creatures which do nothing but eat and breed. They have extremely poor eyesight, and navigate through smell and vibration. Although they start out in a tiny larval state there seems to be no limit to the actual size they can achieve, specimens in the wild have been observed over 30 feet in length. At such a large size their diet tends to subsist on carrion (hence the name, ) or other large game. It has been theorized that they are merely the larval state of another different, larger form which has not yet been observed in nature.

Fairy

A Fairy is a type of primordial nature spirit, usually connected to forests or woodlands. The term refers to many different types of supernatural entity (brownies, pixies, nixies, goblins, trolls, etc.) as well as with anything to do with the supernatural realm, i.e. "the Land of fey," or "Morgan Le Fay." In western European belief they originated either as fallen angels or as a distinct species all their own. Much of mythology has to deal with how one avoids fairy mischief, such as charms to keep them away, prevent them from stealing babies, etc.

Toast Zombie

Coming to eat your brains... along with some lettuce and tomato, and a little bit of mayo. Maybe Ham and Cheese if he's in the mood.

Tri-Onion

A freakish anomaly spawned from experiments with a new pesticide, the Tri-Onion quickly grew to human size and began a rampage of violence and destruction. His hideous breath forced eyes to water, and his tremendous strength and near mindless ferocity caused millions of dollars in property damage. The Tri-Onion was last seen fleeing into the vast forests of the Pacific northwest. Most scientists believe the Onion has long since perished, however sporadic sightings still occasionally occur.

Python

In Greek mythology, the Python was a chthonic guardian of the oracle of Delphi. Hera sent Python to consume the goddess Leto as she gave birth to Apollo, thus Apollo returned the favor and slew the beast with his arrows, and turned the oracle of Delphi to his own purposes.
