#utburdur

[my-name-is-siduri]

In ancient Iceland, it was believed that newborns abandoned by their mothers would come back as útburður when they died. These ghosts took on the form of a raven, but in place of the bird's head was the infant's skull. The color of their feathers depended on the cloth the newborn had been wrapped in before it died. They often torment the mothers that abandoned them, though sometimes they helped them instead.

I was surprised when I saw that the Peryton is not from any ancient folklore/mythology from around the world. It was first mentioned by an Argentinian author in 1957.

The Ladon turned out like a YuGiOh card-looking dragon and the Cheeroonear made me love Australina monsters even more
