Description Lol

The reason behind the comic is that in the heap of watching TSS I started to wonder what cryptids my own nation has (I mean, even Greece was mentioned in one of the eps with their lake monster).
Historically, since Lithuania was the very last nation in Europe to change from Paganism to Christianity it still has very deep folklore roots. There were many myths about random legendary creatures (most of which lived in the swamps, as Lithuania was full of them), but the most interesting IMHO was about a laumė - a beautiful swamp witch who made all sorts of trouble: kidnapped infants, lured men to the swamps, and (God knows why) sticked horse mane with wax...

Those pagans sure knew how to party, huh?


Edit: Gah! I can't believe I actually forgot to translate her speech Well, here goes nothing:
Panel 6: "Hello!";
Panel 7: "Could you guys soap up my back?";
Panel 10: "Pff...Americans..."

And all we russians have is an old russian lady that lives in a hut in chicken legs, werebears and вурдалаки. Your mythology is thousands times better!

Somehow I don't think his mom would be too thrilled about letting him go looking for that on his own.

Come on, he's a big boy now - if he can control half the cryptids of the world with his brain, what's so bad for him to take on a quest to find a naked lady?

Ewww... You do know they are evil witches who lure men to the swamps and watch them drown just for fun, right?

So? There are also ones that lead men off cliffs and stuff, its nothing new, just another day in the office...and I didn't really read my original comment until now...ew. I just grossed myself out. It must take skill to do that...but still, I would still was her back, and I would use my cryptid powers to breathe underwater! Besides, wouldn't a witch look ugly, like the wicked witch of the west?

Beauty is the most powerful weapon there is.

...No, seriously - there's even a panic fear of beautiful women - 'Venustraphobia'...

krosskothen In reply to Jackasaurusrex [2012-06-13 18:14:54 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's true. And there's a fear of beautiful women? That is both necessary and unneeded at the same time.

Jackasaurusrex In reply to krosskothen [2012-06-14 09:17:17 +0000 UTC]

The men fear them because they can make them fall in love with them and break their hearts just for fun - the modern laumes I think...

Yeah, though you have to admit that legends about beutiful women who killed men aren't exactly new and authentic - syrens, mermaids... every nation has those...

SWATKats-Fanatic In reply to Jackasaurusrex [2012-05-27 17:14:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah but that means they must have some truth behind them. I think that some of them are based of actual stories, that this one. There might have been a man who was killed by a beautiful blonde women. As for Mermaids. Legends differ. Some have them killing men while other have them helping men. Another killer Women is the Youkai Yuki-Onna in Japan. Shes a female demon of incredible beauty but she fezzes people where they stand. I think that men are naturally attracted or scared of fem-faitals.
