Kelpies • Scottish

• "Ten children were playing by a lake when a kelpie showed up. Nine of the children clambered onto the creature's back, but the last one hesitated. The boy reached a hand to pet the horse, but his hand got stuck to its neck. When the horse tried to drag the children into the lake, the little boy ripped his hand off to free himself. The boy survived while the other children were carried off and drowned, with only some of their entrails being found."

Leucrocuta • India and Aethiopia

• "In Ethiopia, there is an animal called crocottas, vulgarly kynolykos [dog-wolf], of amazing strength. It is said to imitate the human voice, to call men by name at night, and to devour those who approach it. It is as brave as a lion, as swift as a horse, and as strong as a bull. It cannot be overcome by any weapon of steel."

La Llorona • Latin America

• La Llorona is a Hispanic-American mythical vengeful ghost who is said to roam near bodies of water mourning her children whom she drowned. [...] The terrifying cry of "Ay mis hijos!" is well known due to the story. Additionally, one peculiar detail is that when a person hears the cry from afar means that the ghost is nearby, but if the cry is heard nearby, it means the ghost is far away.
