* The concept of the [[ChineseVampire Jiang Shi]] may seem silly-what's so dangerous about Qing Dynasty-era officials who are also bouncing vampires? Well, first of all, they're nearly invincible. Second, they are deadly enough to wipe out whole villages. Third, ''they can kill you by breathing.'' Fourth, they don't just suck your blood, they rip your throats out. Fifth, with one well-timed bounce aimed at you, they can knock you over and turn you into them. And last of all, as long as you're breathing-''they will find you.''

*** Finally, we have the Mothman, an infamous harbinger of doom who may not actually DO anything but silently stare at people and creep them the hell out, but it tends to forbode disasters.

* Most people today think of [[TheFairFolk faeries]] as dainty little pixies who fly around granting wishes. However, the people of the Middle Ages feared the wrath of the Fair Folk, and few were more vile than the Nuckelavee. A formless specter living off the coast of Orkney, this foul faerie would rise from the depths of the ocean and take the form of a massive, skinless, black-blooded, yellow-veined, fin-footed, man-eating horse with its "rider" fused to its back from his waist down. The horse head had a single blazing red eye and a gaping mouth full of vicious teeth, while the "rider" had an oversized head that rolled about on its undersized neck, and long, muscular arms that ended with razor sharp claws. This monster was an OmnicidalManiac of the highest order, rising from the sea to deliver a plague called the Mortasheen (yes, that's where Bogleech got the name for ''{{Mortasheen}}'' from) that would kill livestock and crops, and it reserved a special hatred for any unfortunate humans it came across. Its one weakness was fresh water, [[CannotCrossRunningWater which it could not cross]].

** The Jersey Devil is more than just the namesake of a hockey team. This demon is a slayer of livestock who was reportedly born when its mother wished that her thirteenth child would be a devil. It then [[SelfMadeOrphan killed its family]], and sightings of this monster have endured from the 1700's to the present day.

* The Wendigo of Algonquin folklore is what happens to people who engage in cannibalism. After they've eaten another human, they turn into a tall, gaunt corpse-like being with sharp fangs that have shredded the former human's lips to nothing, bloody stumps where its feet would be (possibly due to frostbite), and transparent skin through which you can see its icy blood and heart of ice. It can turn invisible and ride on the wind to pursue prey, and it is ALWAYS hungry...
