Description
I have a propensity for making characters out of folkloric monsters and monsters/cryptid critters in general
(poltergeist, selkie, auberon the fairy king, kelpie, unicorn, etc etc)

I just really intensely enjoy cryptozoology hence all the wacky dogs based on various myths and legends!
They all reside in the same magical subland of my character universe, where they pretty much wreak havoc
on the human populace because like 90% of them are giant predators. B)

wikipedia entry on hidebehinds because yes;

"The Hidebehind is a nocturnal fearsome critter from American folklore that preys upon humans
that wander the woods, and was credited for the disappearances of early loggers when they failed
to return to camp. As its name suggests, the Hidebehind is noted for its ability to conceal itself.

When an observer attempts to look directly at it, the creature hides again behind an object or the
observer and therefore can't be directly seen: a feat it accomplishes by sucking in its stomach to a
point where it is so slender that it can easily cover itself behind the trunk of any tree. The Hidebehind
uses this ability to stalk human prey without being observed and to attack without warning.

Their victims, including lumberjacks who frequent the forests, are dragged back to the creature's lair
to be devoured. The creature subsists chiefly upon the intestines of its victim, and has a severe aversion
to alcohol, which is considered a sufficient repellent. Tales of the Hidebehind may have helped explain
strange noises in the forest at night. Early accounts describe hidebehinds as large, powerful animals,
despite the fact that no one was able to see them."
