Cryptworld Things Seen Skulking In The Shadows

In preparation for some Cryptworld projects I have in mind, I've been reading up a bit recently on monsters and creatures from legend and folklore -- both from the U.S. and abroad -- as well as modern urban legends and little-known myths and lore. And several of these creatures have triggered inspiration. So, in the coming days, I'll be statting up and sharing:

  • A demonic carnivore that roams the Canadian wilderness...
  • A vampiric crone from the American south who peels off and wears your skin...
  • An undead from the Philippines that will tear itself in half just to get to you...
  • A lumbering humanoid plant creature lurking in the southern U.S. swamps and bayous...
  • A Central American tree with prehensile tendrils and an appetite for human flesh...
  • A murderous dwarf from the UK who soaks his clothing in the blood of his victims...
  • A malevolent ghost who first appears as a duplicate of his future victim...

Stay tuned to The Savage AfterWorld for "A Week of Legendary THINGS" beginning on Thursday!
