Mothman & Youngun

The MOTHMAN

Made famous by The Mothman Prophecies, he is not at all like his movie counterpart. Mothmen are reclusive, wood-loving creatures who generally stay out of everybody's business. They are generally around five or six feet tall. They appear to be intelligent.

YOUNGUN
Younguns are funny little vegetable creatures who live in the dirt, looking like a garden-variety onion until they decide that they need a new place to live and they climb out of the earth and go adventuring. Simple minded, friendly, and also delicious.

The Unicorn

Possibly the most famous of mythical creatures is the unicorn. Fabled to have a magic horn with poison-negating properties and to trust only fair maidens. Its most common color is white though other variations have been noted in small pocket communities. It is overly fond of gardens and will eat all of your fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants - which is where I first spotted them.

Bigfoot!

The notorious Sasquatch can be found virtually all over the planet under various names. In America, we call him Bigfoot, and true to the name, the creature is quite enormous in size, towering between 8' and 11' tall, varying in shape. I found this fellow on the outskirts of the city digging through trash and making quite a deal over a broken ball-in-cup toy. He didn't seem to mind my presence, though he never spoke to me.

I noticed plantlike growths on his body, such as moss, mushrooms and branches. I wonder if this is an evolutionary mechanism to help camouflage himself in his natural woodland habitat, like the Yeti is covered in white fur to blend in with the snowy mountains.

Turgle and others

The turgle is a small cycloptic creature who has become a succesful scavenger, feeding off of human garbage. Turgles are inoffensive and weak. They can not speak but can vocalize and sometimes imitate language. Their mouth is concealed by their lower eyelid and to feed they must pull it back to insert food. They naturally must avoid crunchy food or they must soak it in liquid to prevent possible scratches to their eye. They also hate spicy, acidic, or sour foods.
