Adi Sagestar	Wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night....
Jade	And these acts would be.....?
Alien	Dark magic, and its ilk, I would think. Dangerous business.
bookbook	jade: you don't want to know.
Brimshack	Masturbation for one thing. The origin of monsters has its origins n the seperation of the sexes and the desperate times that followed. Heh, the story begins with First Woman thanking her vagina for the meat her husband brought her (the rationale being that without it, he wouldn't have brought her anything). From there it proceeds to an epic domestic fight and then the whole commuity divides in half. Then things get very weird.
Alex	I don't want to think about the biological impliation of 'unnatural', considering that things appearance. Presumably, its father was demonic in some way.
Keith Luethke	I love this website. Whoever runs this should put out a book of all these monsters and legends.
anna	I think learning more about these monsters is great. I hope I could hear more from you on this. In what place does this legends exist?
