Bukavac

From The Book of THoTH (Leaves of Wisdom)

Bukavac is a demonic mythical creature in Serbian mythology; belief about it existed in Srem (Š. Kulišić, P. Ž. Petrović, N. Pantelić Српски митолошки речник 1970 Nolit Belgrade (written in Serbian) page 48 Букавац).

Bukavac was sometimes imagined as a six-legged monster with gnarled horns. He lives in lakes and big pools, coming out of the water during the night making big noise (hence the name: Serbian buka - noise), jumping onto people and animals and strangling them.
