Which Near-Human Creature Would You Be? 2 (With Different Possibilities Than My First One)

Although they don’t look so scary when appearing in their human form many South Americans are so terrified by this Brazilian mythical creature villagers will dare not go near the Amazon River at night because that is where the creature roams in its human form – its most dangerous state. By day the Encantado lives as either a freshwater dolphin or sea snake. When they transform into humans though they behold superior musical abilities, seductiveness, and attraction to parties. Their victims can be driven to insanity, illness or even death.

Besides the ability to shapeshift into human form, encantados frequently wield other magical abilities, such as the power to control storms, "enchant" or haunt humans into doing their will or becoming encantados themselves, and inflict illness, insanity, and even death. Shamans and holy men are often needed to intervene and ameliorate the situation, but sometimes the spell is so great that it can not be completely cured. Such powers and habits make the encantado very similar to the Japanese kitsune, a supernatural fox that's famous by its shapeshifting abilities and for having children with human beings.

Kidnapping is also a common theme in such folklore. Encantados are said to be fond of abducting humans they fall in love with, children born of their illicit love affairs, or just anyone near the river who can keep them company, and taking them back to the Encante. The fear of this is so great for many people who live across the Amazon rivers area that many of them, children and adults alike, are terrified of going near the water in certain hours like 6 PM or basically alone. Some who supposedly have encountered encantados out in canoes have been said to have gone insane, although the creatures seem to have done little more than follow their boats and nudge them from time to time.

If I capture you you'll have to give me your gold!

A Zaz (Zazzes plural) is something I made up. It's like a human with an owl head, and they're really smart and wise.

A Skoobeton (Skoobetons plural) is something I made up. It looks like a centaur, but instead of having a horse body, it has the body of a big cat (lion, leopard, jaguar, tiger, sometimes snow leopard, clouded leopard, or cougar) with wings.

El Naddaha takes the form of stunningly beautiful woman who appears, as if by chance, to men walking by the Nile at night. The men are usually a pair. The creature calls one by his first name, rendering him speechless, hypnotized, and obedient to her voice which he blindly follows, while the other man is unaffected, and attempts to pull the other back. The creature calls in a soft, sleepy, hypnotizing voice until the second unaffected man succeeds at last in reviving the called man from his trance. The two run away as fast as they can, hearing her voice still echoing as they run. Usually the men do not get close enough to the Nile to get a glimpse of . . . the creature before they run away. In rare instances, they get a glimpse of her. She is described as being a very beautiful white female; tall, slender, with long flowing hair down her back. She stands steadily very near to the bank of the river, her hands placed at her sides, and wearing a loose, long semi-transparent dress. In many instances she's described as having a semi-transparent body and possibly a genie. Her voice is calm and soft, yet loud. In rural Egypt, the creature may call for men in their homes by the shores of the Nile, who then eagerly attempt to leave home for her. In other tales, the affected man will not immediately try to follow; rather enter a state of disturbed distraction for a few nights before at last departing late at night. People in rural Egypt believe that a man who is called for by El Naddaha is doomed, curing him from the curse is impossible, and the process irreversible. Not a single instance has been recorded where a man is seen devoured by her. But many old local citizens believe she consumes or fiercely pulls her victims into the Nile and drowns them. Ahmed Khaled Towfik, in his The Legend of Al Naddaha, says that a man who prevents the called man from reaching the creature by any means would be the next to be called.

The Sirens of Greek mythology are creatures who sing beautifully and drive men off their ships, only for them to drown in the dangerous water or crash into the rocks. They can appear as beautiful, irresistible mermaids or gigantic birds with the head of a beautiful woman.

Yay! Pixies!
