I'd say it's fairly routine that I get to thinking about monsters and stuff. From folklore, movies, video games, books, you name it. But I think the funnest monsters are those from mythology and folklore, because a lot of times they were used to explain certain real life things. The Will o' the Wisp, for example, while not always malicious is an interesting example. Leading traveller's in the forest or swamp astray and to their deaths, or it did the opposite and guided those who were lost to safety. Of course a couple of my favorites comes directly from Native American folklore, one being Navajo. They are the Skinwalkers (Navajo) and the Wendigo.

Any such monsters and creatures that stick out in your minds? I'd love to maybe hear about some that I'm unfamiliar with.
