Cryptids and Monsters

[Clayton]

So what Cryptids and monsters have you heard about that others might be unaware of?

Deer Woman, sometimes known as the Deer Lady, is a spirit in Native American mythology whose associations and qualities vary, depending on situation and relationships. To women, children, and men who are respectful of women and children, she is associated with fertility and love. However, to those who have harmed women and children, she is vengeful and murderous, and known to lure these men to their deaths. She appears as either a beautiful young woman with deer feet or a deer.^{[1][better source needed]}

Deer Woman stories are found in multiple Indigenous American cultures, often told to young children or by young adults and preteens in the communities of the Lakota people (Oceti Sakowin), Ojibwe, Ponca, Omaha, Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Choctaw, Otoe, Osage, Pawnee, and the Haudenosaunee - and those are only the ones that have documented Deer Woman sightings.^[2]

Some stories describe the sighting of Deer Woman as a sign of personal transformation or as a warning. Deer Woman is said to be fond of dancing and will sometimes join a communal dance unnoticed, leaving only when the drum beating ceases.^[3]

I don't know about others being unaware of, but I haven't heard of a lot of them. Then again, I've also heard of a lot of them, but from the TV., so I doubt I know any that others aren't aware of. I like the thread though.

The Fresno nightcrawlers, Chupababra, the vagina girls of apache myth... you got nothing?  Even Anime is full of this stuff. The Slut Mouth woman for example...

Anyone familiar with 90s spooky documentaries should remember RODS! So much so they even showed up in JOJOs. Completely debunked but it was fun to watch at the time thats for sure.
