What about the vampiric cats of Chinese legends? Or the Itzpapaloti a Aztec demon who was a combination of a woman and a butterfly.She had stone knives on the edges of her wings and her tongue
was a stone knife too.

I always liked the name Tlazoteotl... or Oxycotyl.

Does anyone know what the same of the Japanesse "Snow Princess" or "Snow Fairy" is? I always kinda liked that story too.

And, for me, zombies aren't necessarily "mystical" creatures... mostly because zombies work on the weird-shared emotion of "mass infection", which is one of the reasons the "Resident Evil" series is actually named "Biohazard" in the original.

In a lot of modern zombie lore, the fear that zombies cause isn't really from their super-human strength or endurance... but the idea of becoming infected and turning. Same sort of idea as the movie "The Thing" and its related short story "Who Goes There?" For whatever pshycological reason, being "clean" and not "infected" seems to get under everyone's skin. So, zombies push the envelope of the idea of a global plague. A plague that cannot be contained, and it is only a matter of time before you become infected.

Though... I always did wonder why zombies don't eat each other... isn't one brain as good as any other? And for those of you curious the whole "gotta shot them in the head" thingy evolved from a lot of the spagetti zombie movies of the 70s and 80s... which were later popularized by George Romero.

In older zombie lore, zombies are mind-controlled... more of a voodoo zombie thing. Which to me is funny, as vampires are often associated with zombies, but... often vampire powers are actually centered around bats and wolves, and being able to summon those creatures.

... okay, I think I've rambled on long enough.

to be honest the whole eating brains thing is kind of a joke in the seance that you would need your brain to become a zombie in the first place because of the fact that the only thing still alive in you is your brain it is still sending neural synapses to your body but they are only the basic functions like eat, and move the whole mass infection thing is really over rated in my opinion do to this fact.

now zombies eating other zombies is a good point seeing how the whole every ones a zombie and there's no more food, and in that seance then yes i would think they would eat each other out of just hunger

now that being said zombies have what i guess we could call a shelf life do to that fact that they are all dead and there bodies would decay like normal in fact that's where the whole them eating brains came in at they thought that if the zombie ate the brains of the living then there bodies would not decay.

There are many versions of the modern kind of zombie, some of which don't eat brains, but merely bite just to spread the infection. Some are fast, some are slow, some are pretty much impossible to kill (even a shot to the head doesn't kill them - I find that ridiculous). Personally, if it's one of those plague-like infecting zombies, I don't class it as mythical; like Johnny, I consider only something that goes back to folklore and such as mythical, and these kinds of zombies are more modern fiction than myth. So please, let's stop discussing them in a thread about mythical creatures, as they're not mythical creatures.

The Wendigo I know. It's sort of a Canadian Yeti, for those of you who don't. But the Raw Head and Bloody Bones are new to me.

Raw Head and Bloody Bones was a sort of bogeyman that English peasantry used to scare their children into staying in bed at night.

"If you stray from bed, Raw Head and Bloody Bones will creep out from under the stairs and get you!"

He supposedly looked like a skeleton covered with blood and bits of skin.

Either name is acceptable. Different places have different titles and lyrics. Tearlach, I believe you're referring to the fact that it is commonly known to refer to the black plague? That's not strictly true, as is mentioned in the Wikipedia entry I've linked to above. However, there is one children's song that really is morbid - Alouette. We sing it in French, and it doesn't seem too bad; translate it, though, and you'll be shocked. It's all about plucking a lark.

To Tearlach:

It's been my experience that pretty much any children's rhyme or music can sound really creepy, spooky, and morbid.

[Doodles]

I've always loved genies, and it's what Doodles is as a character. See http://www.furaffinity.net/view/417194/ for a sample. =};-3

Tearlach,

I know... I was more just saying that, to me, a lot of children's nursery rhymes, even without being done all spooky like, are still really creepy.

You know what else really creeps me out? Real, porcelin dolls... I don't know what it is about those things... in the daytime, they look all pretty and really cool... and at night, I swear those things watch me... just waiting for me to go to bed, so they can suffocate me.

Geeze did I hate my mom's collection of porcelin dolls...*shivers*

It's one of the reasons I really hate the whole clown scene from poltergeist.
