LUSCA is a terrifying creature from the Caribbean folklore. It is usually depicted as gigantic half shark half octopus with many crazy tentacles. I think SYFY already made this move and it was terrible. . This is for Day 4 of Folklore & Fairytales challenge that I may or may not end up doing the entire month of April.

Day 4- Lusca The Lusca has been described in a variety of ways, some suggesting it’s merely a giant octopus that has been misidentified. Many others however, have described the Lusca as a half-shark, half-octopus hybrid monster. It has razor-sharp teeth and multi-suckered tentacles. It is said to be over 75 feet long, possibly growing as large as 200 feet in some cases. It’s habitats are underwater terrain, large underwater caves, the edge of the continental, or other areas where large crustaceans (assumed to be their food source) are found. #folkloreandfairytales #folklore #challengebysophy #lusca #custombysophy https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXZ33OgIUZ/?igshid=11ny6zicqj4tm

FAUN is a mythological half human half goat creature, sometimes considered a minor deity to the shepherds and farmers of certain regions, viewed as a protector and teacher that may bless the land and farm animals with fertility. Faunus (Pan) was the ancient Roman god, and Fauna was his female counterpart. This is for Day 3 of Folklore & Fairytales challenge that I may or may not end up doing the entire month of April.
