The Baku are holy creatures found in Japanese Mythology. They watch over humans, feeding on their dreams—specifically, the bad ones! These dream eaters serve not only as symbols of good luck but also as guardians against evil spirits, nightmares, and disease.

It was believed that those who woke from a bad dream could summon the Baku to come and devour the nightmare by repeating "Baku-san, come eat my dream" three times, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. However, caution was advised not to call on them too frequently, as they might get greedy and take the good dreams along with them too!

A gift for my buddy @jasminetwil of their sweet 'Plumpkin' critters. I just want to give the biggest hug to everything they create💙 "Plumpkins grow from enchanted pumpkin seeds (or seeds from a plumpkin itself), and emerge in Autumn ready to eat your stash of snacks and candies. Don't feed them too much though, they'll get sick. When not trying to fight you for the last cookie, Plumpkins are pretty docile and friendly, and make perfect companions for magicfolk of all ages."

Mothman is a popular United States myth of a large, flying humanoid creature with glowing red eyes. This cryptid was first spotted in the 1960's haunting skies of West Virginia by two cemetery workers, where shortly after reports of a 10 foot winged creature started appearing in the newspapers.

The most famous sighting of Mothman was on December 15th, 1967 where locals said to have seen a mysterious figure over the Silver Bridge, a suspension bridge that connected Point Pleasant to Gallipolis, Ohio. According to the legend, shortly after the creature was spotted the bridge had collapsed resulting in the tragic deaths of 46 people.

After Mothman disappeared from Point Pleasant sightings started to appear all around the world claiming this winged humanoid creature that would appear right before a major disaster. For example, the year before the Chernobyl incident (Ukraine) there were numerous claims of a creature flying around the plant as well as in 2011 a similar sighting was seen at the Fukushima plant (Japan) before Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami had triggered a massive nuclear explosion. It’s even said he was spotted in Minnesota one month before the collapse of the I-35W bridge, leaving storytellers unsure on whether Mothman should be considered good or evil. Some say the creature is bad luck and causing these catastrophes, but others speculate Mothman may be able to see into the future and is only trying to help warn the people of an impending disaster, giving him the nickname “Harbinger of Doom”

🍃 Woodland Kirin 🍃 The Kirin/Qilin are powerful and rare creatures that often resemble a mighty deer covered in scales and a flowing mane who only appear during periods of world peace. These gentle beasts are popular legends told in East Asia, known to never hurt a living soul where even their steps won't affect a single blade of grass.

"A god. Ancient. One of the Jötunn. A bastard offspring of Loki. We do not say its name. We worship it. It keeps us here. Let us live beyond natural life. No more pain. No more death. Your ritual begins tonight. It is a privilege to worship. You will kneel before the god. If not, it will hang you from the trees." Moder is the main antagonist of Adam Nevill's 2011 British horror novel The Ritual, and its 2017 film adaptation. She is an obscure Jötunn that inhabits a forest in Northern Sweden and is venerated by an ancient group of cultists.
