Are they really real? The real world offers a lot of scarecrows - heights, enclosures, taxes, giant insects and others. But why not enter a magical empire where many mythical creatures roam ... but are you sure they can't be real?

Perchta

Perchta is a folklore figure, known mainly in southern Germany and Austria, often identified with white lady. The name of this character has a number of variants, for example Perahta, Berchte, Berchta, Behrta or Pehta. In Baden, Swabia, Switzerland and some regions of Slovenia it is known as Frau Faste "Lady fasting" or Kvaternica which connects it to the so-called dry days. Her name is often associated with the lady 's surname (German Ms.). Perchty bypassed the households before Christmas, usually in the evening of St. Barbara or Lucy, they were wrapped in white and wore a ghostly mask similar to a dog or dragon head with large teeth and tongue out. Perchta ghostly ghostly, carrying a wooden knife in her hand to scare the children, not observing fasting (threatening to rip them up and stuffing tow) somewhere to oversee the ban on spinning on Sunday (elsewhere it was believed that breaking this ban would punish a rake or other specter).

Pishachas

According to the Vedic myth, these demons feed on the body and consider themselves the strongest of all. They lurk in houses and cemeteries, waiting for people to become infected with disease or insanity. The living and the dead are not safe because these demons consume meat regardless of its freshness. They also often pursue places where violent deaths have occurred. In southern India, forests roam between villages. On their way through the forest, people carry a piece of iron or leaves from the Neem tree to ward off demons so they can walk safely. Pregnant women are especially sensitive to these creatures.

Poreskoro

In Romani folklore, Poreskoro is one of the descendants of Anna, the Queen of Fairies and Loçolica, the king of demons. Poreskoro has a human body with three heads of cats and four heads of dogs and a snake with a forked tongue like a tail. This demon is responsible for the epidemic of infectious diseases and has a particular liking for those diseases that spread through parasites.

Namazu

Whatever you know about earthquakes is wrong. Forget Science: This huge Japanese catfish is causing seismic shocks! This eel lies below Japan. He expresses his anger by an earthquake. Kaname-ishi, the great stone, rests on his back and protrudes above the ground in the temple of Kashima. The catfish is bound by this stone until Kashim's attention disappears. After the devastating earthquake in Ansei in 1855, hundreds of different types of Namaz prints appeared around the city. The earthquake was often regarded as an act of yonaoshi, or "world remedy," which dealt with the ills of society. Namazu was then worshiped as a god.

Nightmare

This demon, called Mahr in Germany, Ephialtes ("Leaper") in Greece and a nightmare in England, interferes with sleep. It causes pain to sleeping people. When the sleeper suddenly wakes up, he feels strong pressure on his chest and is unable to move. You will recognize Cauchemar's visit - after waking up you feel exhausted and refuse to go to bed in the evening.

Nidhogg

Scandinavian Nidhogg threatens the existence of the whole world. A giant snake or dragon eats corpses to keep it alive. They try to destroy the roots of Yggdrasil, the Tree of the World. He lives in a foggy house, which is located at the lowest level of the universe. When he is not trying to destroy the world, he quarreling with an eagle on top of a tree.
