Description
Another monster for NelaNequin s and my little Halloween Special. She writes the text while I do the illustrations.

The Bauk is a monster from serbian mythology, somewhat like a boogey man but a bit more animalistic. It is supposed to be covered with fur, walking very unstable on two feet and being afraid of light. It´s name comes from the sound it makes, which sounds somewhat like "bauk". In the serbian translation of Lord of the Rings, the goblins are also called "bauk", so I assume this is a very versatile monster and it´s looks are not very clearly defined.

But let Nela tell you more about this:

In dark corners of certain rooms or beneath the old stairs of some basements, as well as on attics or in the shadow of old, dead trees, a creature called Bauk is living. There – in the darkness, to which it is perfectly adapted – it is waiting for its pray, to grap it quickly with its strong paws and devore it afterwards. The Bauk tends not to be picky, what kind of meat it will eat. Only a few of those, who could wrench themselves from the paws of this creature, could discribe the look of the Bauk, as he seems to be able to become one with the shadow. Hence it would be advised, to generally rather stay away from such dark corners.

Share if you wish to creep out your friends a bit

We hope you will stop by for the next creature
