sea monk

[…] three sea monks being found in 1530, 1546 and 1549. In fact the first sea monk was not a sea monk at all, having been found in the Rhine. The second one was found near Copenhagen with a black head and the clothes of a monk and the final one was found near Hafnia (Copenhagen), tonsured like a monk. […] Nonetheless walruses remain a possible explanation for the occurence of sea monks prior to 1546.

2005, Steenstrupia, volume 29, pages 40-45:

Sea monks had failed to assert themselves into the popular imagination the way mermaids had. They lacked a certain appeal. The few pictorial depictions stuck a tonsured human head on a fish body, scaly fins and tail forming the monk's ...

hengeyokai

1985, David Cook, Oriental Adventures, TSR Inc., →ISBN
Hengeyokai are intelligent, shape-changing animals. Several subraces exist, each a different type of animal. They are found throughout the Oriental world, usually on the fringes of human-settled lands.

1998-01-28, Lee Gold, Re: B5 Filk: You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Us Sinclair, rec.music.filk
If a hengeyokai fails to concentrate (or perhaps gets distracted -- due to being beaten, seeing a mouse, fatigue), the human form's ears may get pointed or a tail may appear.

Hengeyokai transfer between forms almost instantly, though when in human form, they often retain some mark of characteristic of their true animal nature.

2001, Laurence C. Bush, Asian Horror Encyclopedia: Asian Horror Culture in Literature, Manga and Folklore, Writers Club Press, page 69:

2013-10-12, Jasin Zujovic, Hengeyokai level adjustment, rec.games.frp.dnd

(Iberian folklore, mythology, fantasy) a mischievous mythological creature similar to a goblin or kobold found in legends of Portugal and Spain (viz. Iberia proper)


trasgo

Unknown. Possible etymologies include:
* from Latin trādux (“vine branch”), in the nominative (semantic connection is nebulous, possibly from the creatures hiding in vineyards in some folk legends);
* from Old Galician-Portuguese transfegar (“to transfigure, to transfuse”), from Latin transfigurare, relating to the creature's ability to shapeshift;
* from Ancient Greek τράγος (trágos, “male goat, lechery”), relating to mischief, its small stature, and other hircine attributes;
* from Old Italian strega (“witch, hag”), from Latin striga (“evil spirit, witch, etc.”).
* from a Gothic term for a goblin-like creature, introduced or reinforced during the Visigothic/Suebian period via Germanic folklore.
* from Old Spanish trasgreer or trasgueir (“make mischief”) (first attested in c. 15th century), from Latin transgredi, likewise referring to its mischievous nature. In which case, cognate to English transgress.

Egendomsherren på Engagården hette fordomdags Truls, och hans maka Signe. De hade sex barn, tre af hvart kön. Sönerne blefvo i ungdomen spådde, att de skulle misshandla sina systrar. För att hindra detta, förde fadren dem långt upp åt landet. Sedan de blifvit vuxna, komma de till hemorten, utan att veta att de der voro födde. Händelsevis mötte de i skogen trenne flickor som skulle gå till ottesången i Norrhveddinge kyrka, och visste ej att de voro deras systrar. De våldtogo flickorna och slogo dem ihjel.

Long time ago, the owner of Engagården was Truls and his wife was Signe. They had six children, three of each sex. When the sons were young it was forecast that they would violate their sisters. In order to prevent this, the father sent them far away to another part of the country. When they had grown up, they came to their homestead, without knowing that they were born there. They met in the forest three girls who were on their way to Christmas Eve's morning service at the church of Norrhveddinge, and did not know that they were their sisters. They raped the girls and killed them. On the site where this happened sprang up the Virgin Springs.

Cuội

Nguyễn Đổng Chi stated that Cuội, the man sitting under a tree in the Moon, had been a different folkloric person than Cuội, the habitually lying man or boy; yet those two eventually merged into one, a habitually lying man or boy sitting under a tree in the Moon.
According to researcher Nguyễn Hùng Vĩ:
*The Man in the Moon's name Cuội is related to Vietnamese cội (“roots”) and element cối (from Proto-Vietic *koːjʔ (“plant; vegetation”) and fossilized in cây cối);
*The folkloric habitual liar's name Cuội is a non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 拐 (“to abduct; to misappropriate”, SV: quải);
** Vĩ also notes that the habitual liar's proper name once became a generic noun denoting a liar, recorded as «quội» in Alexandre de Rhodes's Dictionarium Annamiticum Lusitanum et Latinum; and
** critiques many lexicographers like Pierre Pigneau de Behaine, Gustave Hue, Georges Cordier, J. F. M. Génibrel, Huỳnh Tịnh Của, and Trương Vĩnh Ký for mistakenly glossing «cuội» as "echo".

pishtaco

From a Quechua language term meaning "cut the throat of, cut up".

They are often told that the pishtaco is going to carry them off if they do not behave. Thus, they are taught to fear the mestizo and white man at an early age. The pishtaco also maintains conformity among adults. Individualism is not a norm ...

However, the pishtaco is not an Andean Minotaur. It is, rather, an indigenous Andean folk symbol of Spanish, and later criollo, colonialist oppression. Pishtacos are represented as white foreigners, ...

1997, Milos Kokotovic, Confronting Postmodernism:

For this part of the operation, the pishtaco is said to import specialized equipment from the United States, Germany, or Japan.

2005, Don Kulick, Anne Meneley, Fat, →ISBN:

This explains why the first pishtaco figures in the legend were priests and soldiers. As the power structure changed, so did the pishtaco figure. In later versions of the story he rode a horse and wore leather chaps like a rancher, ...

meigallo

Ora en ti penso disperto, / ora en ti penso durmindo, / e sempre en ti estou pensando / coma si foses feitiço; Seique meigallo me deche / na festa do San Martiño, / amasado cos teus dedos / nunha bola de pantrigo

1863, Rosalía de Castro, Cantares Gallegos:

I think about you while awake, I think about you while sleeping; I'm always thinking about you as if it was witchery; I think that you gave me an enchantment, in the fair of Saint Martin, kneaded with you hands inside a ball of wheat bread

(folklore) evil eye, witchery, spell, bane

Calquer pensara que un meigallo se lle meteu no corpo, ó ver como cambeou de súpeto. Esborrouse da súa boca a sonrisa pracenteira, fuxiu dos ollos o mirar churruscandeiro, velado agora por humedeceres de bágoas

1895, Heraclio Pérez Placer, Contos da Terriña:

Anyone would think that she was under a spell [that a meigallo entered her body] seeing how she changed overnight: the pleasant smile fade from her mouth and the burning looks fled from her eyes, clouded by the wetness of the tears

this king had a daughter named Medea, and this princess Medea was very knowledgeable in the art of magic and in every enchantment, and in charms of herbs and of other things

este rrey avia hũa filla a que chamauã Medea et esta Jnfanta Medea foy moy sabea en arte magica et de todos los encantamẽtos, et de feytizeos de ervas et de outras cousas

Meigas, feitizos e bruxas
que persigue a Inquisicion,
sin mascara, socaliñas
de cregos e frades son.
Chamanlles bruxas à ás vellas
por ter cara de carton;
pero solamente hay meygas
en donde hay Inquisicion.
As femias da nosa especie
de certa constitucion
fan visaxes, e son tolas,
pero feitizeiras non.

1813, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Rogos dun escolar gallego:

Witches, spells and hexes,
who are prosecuted by the Inquisition,
maskless, hoaxes
of priests and friars are.
They call hex an old lady
because her face is made of cardboard;
but there are witches
just where it is Inquisition.
Females of our species,
of certain constitution,
make gestures, and are mad,
but sorceresses they are not.

Ora en ti penso disperto,
ora en ti penso durmindo,
e sempre en ti estou pensando
coma si foses feitiço

Now I think about you awake,
now I think about yow while asleep,
I'm always thinking about you
as if you were a spell
