Explore the Wild Beasts and Monsters of Texas Legend and Myths!
I'm Lars, a certified self-taught Monster Hunter and Legendary Creature Researcher for Texas Monsters. I love learning about history, legends, and folklore surrounding the mysterious and unknown creatures that lurk in our State.
Water Demons with crazy powers -- and they aren't as scary as you'd think...
The Texas version: wild, dog like, and dangerous!
It has the wings of a bat, a serpent's tail, hairy legs like a goat, a horse's head, and a human body with talons.
Jack-a-Lopes are jackrabbits with antlers like a deer; called warrior rabbits by some.
The Dobhar Chu', part dog part otter, lurks in teh Great Lakes. Gaelic for Water Hound, this beast supposedly inhabits the Greats Lakes, and is known to unleash an eerie whistle.
There have been no actual sightings of undead zombies. But some counties have reported people being sleepy or out of it for long periods of time, and appear zombified.
A huge serpent living in the Amazon River, Yakumama means the "Mother of the Waters", and is ancient.
A creature of Norse Mythology, it is reported to be 14 meters long, and terrorizes ships and travelers on the sea.
Huldufólk or hidden people are elves in Icelandic and Faroese folklore. They are supernatural beings that live in nature. In Faroese folk tales, hidden people are said to be "large in build, their clothes are all grey, and their hair black. Their dwellings are in mounds, and they are also called Elves."
Werewolves first appeared 1000 years ago, involving people who had the ability to turn into wolflike creatures (and henry's faverote monsters). Although most reports are people with lycanthropy -- wait, is that howling outside? better get out of here before... ahhhh!"
