originates from East Africa and in the story it ate lots, grew lots, ate all the townspeople and was eventually killed by 1,000 arrows. I gave this chonker a more prehistoric look. I just love large extinct mammals. They were so big and cool.

In Chinese folklore people who are greedy in life become E Gui, ghosts that are always hungry, with mouths too small to satiate their hunger. Since I want a more naturalistic look for my interpretations I used some primates for inspiration in this piece.

The Nunda, aka the Mngwa, is a donkey sized man-eating big cat, from Tanzinia. It's owner, a Sultan, loved this cat so much that he allowed it to eat anything, 'even, so be it, a man'. In some stories, the Nunda turns on the Sultan.

Today is one of my favourite mythical creatures, the Selkie, for My mum told me stories of Selkies when I was young and my obsession was sealed. If you haven't watched Song of the Sea, do it, and Shirely Hughes book on Selkies is lovely.

~ DAY 10 ~ UTBURDUR

This is probably the creepiest creature I've ever drawn. An Icelandic myth of newborns haunting their mothers in the form of a raven.

'My mother in the fold of sheep,
Do not worry, do not weep,
I shall lend you my blood-red rag
For you to wear, for you to wear.'
The Útburður, newborns who are abandoned, that become ghosts, haunt their mothers and are the colour of their death swaddle.

I drew a weird little filth-eating ghost, so now that means I can finally sleep, right?
