Hey everyone, I want to sincerely apologize for an oversight in this video. Unfortunately, I missed a few countries in the process. I truly appreciate your understanding and patience, and I’m grateful to those who pointed it out. To make it right, I’ve done some extra research and included mythical creatures from the countries I missed below: Tunisia: Tanit was a chief deity of Ancient Carthage, originating from a local Berber goddess and serving as the consort of Baal Hammon. She represented wisdom, civilization, and crafts, and was seen as a protector of homes and cities. Ancient North Africans marked her symbol on tombstones and houses for protection. Tanit was associated with the matriarchal aspect of Numidian society and was identified with the Egyptian goddess Neith and the Greek goddess Athena. Her worship extended across modern-day Tunisia and Algeria, with major temples in places like Thinissut and Cirta. Tanit was later Romanized as Dea Caelestis. Even today, in Tunisia, she is invoked in times of drought under the name "Omek Tannou" to ask for rain. Aruba: The blue horses of Aruba are a captivating symbol of the island's mythology and natural wonder. According to legend, these horses emerged from the union of two ancient myths. One involves Dushi Hende, the island's spirit, believed to take the form of a mystical blue horse, bringing prosperity to those who encounter it. The other myth is about the hardy Aruban horse, which, over time, adapted to the island’s environment and developed a unique blue hue, blending with Dushi Hende’s mystical essence. While the blue coloration may seem magical, it is actually due to a genetic trait called the **Dun Factor**, which affects pigment distribution in the horses' coats, resulting in their striking blue appearance. These horses, found across various breeds on the island, are celebrated during festivals, becoming a cherished emblem of Aruban culture, resilience, and folklore. Thank you again for your support and feedback. I really appreciate everyone sticking with me!
Could you imagine an rpg based on real world cultur folklore and myth? Like someone travels and encounters all these and more and each area has thier respective monsters....like final fantasy but "real life"
There's a very unheard of video game called the snitcher or something similar. It has these monsters and creatures in it. Hopefully ubisoft buy the rights to make the sequel.
I live in Maine, a state in the USA, and we've got a couple that not a lot of people realize. We have Cassie, a sea serphant in Casco Bay, the Specter Moose, the Palmyra werewolves, a werebear, and a couple other that overlap with other regions like Wendigo and bigfoot. My favorite is the Hide Behind. It can twist its body to fit behind any tree or shrub and you can NEVER SEE IT because its so good at hiding. Most you get is a glimpse in your peripheral vision.
In Finland there’s an old folk story about how the northern lights were born. According to it, there once lived an old wise man with his wife in the far reaches of the wilderness. During summer the nights were long and bright, but during winter they were long and dark. This saddened the wife, so the old man decided to do something about it. He built a huge bonfire, letting the flames dance high into the sky. When the flames subsided in the evening, brightly glowing coals were left in their wake. Now the man called forth the foxes in the forest and they came to him. On the tail of each fox, the wise man tied one of the glowing coals. Laced with his power, they didn’t burn the forest or the foxes carrying them, and the wise man told the foxes to run into the forest. As the foxes ran among the trees, light from the coals danced and flickered all the way to the sky. When morning came, the foxes removed the coals, only to put them on the following night. And now the wife had the northern lights to brighten the dark winter nights.
Its 4AM, will i end up falling into a comfortable sleep or focusing on the entire video🙏🏻😭 Either would be good, better thank the thoughts. Already a great vid.
from panama - i wanted to add, the tulivieja's story and the reason she acts the way she does, is that she wanted to party instead of tending to her child, and when she got home the child had wandered off and drowned. in another version, when she was going out she took a horse, but lightning struck and she was sent flying and broke her back. she was unable to get to her baby and crawls at night with her broken back, crying for him. she specifically seeks out babies who have not been baptized. the purpose of this legend is to 1. scare young mothers into attending to their motherly duties at all times, otherwise their child might die and 2. scare kids into not wandering off! most latin american legends are meant to teach a lesson. great video!!!
My father used to scare me with stories of Krampus as a kid. He mentioned the bag thing, but he was probably told those stories by his grandmother, who was born in the 1880s.
Hello . Im from Kosovo and i was surprised to hear about that one , nice pick "goblins" but theres more famous ones , like "Babarroka" . Its hard to find things on internet about it because its mostly forgotten now but from what I have heard and remember . Is that it looks like a huge eagle or serphent like creature with wings that can fly and has huge claws to grab people . The best depiction or the way it looks is through "popeye rokh" (the eagle from popeye cartoon) . And its said to act the same like it ❤
Rule #1 of Canada; do NOT follow a cry for help coming from the woods! Some say its a wendigo or shifter, or yeti but more likely its a mountain lion trying to get some uber eats delivered.
It appears I missed it. My apologies! If you know a mythical creature from Aruba I can pin the comment so everyone will see it. Until then, I'll do some research. Thank you for noticing! Cheers 🍻
03:17 - for Krampus, you said: "On Christmas Eve, he carries a sack or basket on his back to cart-off misbehaving children for punishment; some older stories even mention Krampus taking kids away in his bag." …well, yes, of course the older stories mention Krampus taking kids away, because… that’s… what he was there for! Lol. I mean, didn’t he carry the bag/sack/basket specifically to take the badly-behaved kids away, for punishment, as you said? 🤔
When it cones to the lebanese creature there's no i, its just abou kees. Literal translation is *father if bags*. Bout to check out the variation of the boogey man vid after this one
It's not Nigh-yami Nigh-yami or whatever the hell you said. Nyami Nyami dude. Pretend you've eaten a nice burger or pizza or whatever, and you enjoyed it so much you say it tastes nyummy. Now say it twice

You know that every single fantasy game based on these. They mix the cultures ofcourse, but every single fantasy game based on real world folklore.
i have never been so excited for a video

I knew it's gonna be the Samodiva!
You know it’s going be a evil thing when a rooster lays it.
I'm Salvadoran, and its first time I've heard of Cuyancua 😮
Everyone, take a shot every time the creature has backwards facing feet!!!.... 🥴
read the title and said "oh hell yeah!" out loud
Bahamian here. To add something to the Chickcharney 49:16 If you make fun of its appearance, it'll eventually find you and twist your neck as owls do.
Oh my gosh. That is terrifying
never heared about Kludde, its folklore in the south of holland, bordering the belgian border, i live up north lol.
1:29:00
Bangladesh❤
I'm from NZ and we pronounce Taniwha Ta Ni Far
I am born and raised in Turkey and never heard of this mhachai thing before
Maybe you can share one that you know of 🍻
Rule #1 of Canada; do NOT follow a cry for help coming from the woods! Some say its a wendigo or shifter, or yeti but more likely its a mountain lion trying to get some uber eats delivered.
All of africa covered but not tunisia ?
Great content though
France: people.
😂😂😂
🎶 1st She call the children and lure them to the river,
Then she get the children and drown them in the water...
Aye Yiiii La Loraina !🎶
Is Aruba not included? It’s not between Argentina and Bahamas on this list, yet it is in the Americas.
It appears I missed it. My apologies! If you know a mythical creature from Aruba I can pin the comment so everyone will see it. Until then, I'll do some research.
Thank you for noticing! Cheers 🍻
As a Hungarian I would be surprised if it wasn't the Turul. 😅
I wonder how many prehistroic creature early ancestor hunted down and now it became mythical creature or conspiracy animals
Stop reading comments and start sleeping.
It seems like y’all always forget Ireland has more than 2 cryptids / mythical creatures -_-
Just Japan can give you enough beings to make a video of this same length
I knew Canada was going to be the wendigo
03:17 - for Krampus, you said: "On Christmas Eve, he carries a sack or basket on his back to cart-off misbehaving children for punishment; some older stories even mention Krampus taking kids away in his bag."
…well, yes, of course the older stories mention Krampus taking kids away, because… that’s… what he was there for! Lol. I mean, didn’t he carry the bag/sack/basket specifically to take the badly-behaved kids away, for punishment, as you said? 🤔
Tunisia...
When it cones to the lebanese creature there's no i, its just abou kees. Literal translation is *father if bags*. Bout to check out the variation of the boogey man vid after this one
“There no i”? 🤔
@@erikm8372 as in *abu kees* not *abu i kees*
It's not Nigh-yami Nigh-yami or whatever the hell you said. Nyami Nyami dude. Pretend you've eaten a nice burger or pizza or whatever, and you enjoyed it so much you say it tastes nyummy. Now say it twice
Too much commercials... unwatchable...
