Cryptids & Creatures of Folklore Drawtober Day 20 — Con Rit

Con Rit is the name given to a monstrous oceanic centipede-like creature seen in the seas around Vietnam. It is described as being approximately 60 - 130 feet in length and has a segmented body like a centipede but with fins instead of legs. Some accounts say it has whiskers and a turtle-like head. Several Con Rit carcasses supposedly washed up in 1800s and early 1900s.

There have been sightings of similar giant ocean centipedes in other parts of the world as well. In 1889, John Bailhache reported that he and his crew had witnessed a "weird" creature about twenty miles northeast of Cedros Island off the coast of Baja California. Bailhache said the creature was around 100 feet in length with a segmented body, multiple fins, and no visible eyes. He and his fellow crew members watched it feasting on a dead whale while it made a terrible wheezing sound.

Although I’m partial to Gurdy’s design, here are some Pendulum Syrinx variants, with one taking a stroll up on the beach (a habit only the much smaller ones are known to do).

I like how the second one ended up with the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ pose.

we don't talk to her, because she hates everyone

you know the funny thing about snayer is that i did deliberately take inspiration from quite a few animals for its design but not one of them was a snake

If you had to eat a bug, and it has to be living and at least an inch big, what bug would you feel the most comfortable eating?

I’ve had crickets and scorpion before but they were cooked and crispy.

Hmm…

Would larvae count? Could I just eat a non-poisonous caterpillar?

Bluu can levy entire towns, summon typhoons to sink naval fleets, and call upon monstrosities from the Mariana trenches, but will scream bloody murder if she spots a centipede crawling on the wall and will beg you to kill it for her.

Sharks, orcas, wolves, mongooses, hawks, owls, eagles, big cats, snakes, piranhas, centipedes, preying mantises, scorpions, spiders, squids, komodo dragons, polar bears, sea lions, crocodilians: entire groups of life adapted to eat absolutely nothing but the raw flesh of other creatures. Our society recognizes all of these as iconic killing machines. They all occupy a position in our collective consciousness that teeters between majestic warrior hunter and grim terrifying murder monster. Embodiments of nature's ferocity. Agents of death.

Frogs: an entire group of life adapted to eat absolutely nothing but the raw flesh of other creatures. We think they're silly guys who ought to wear floppy hats perhaps

are you all aware of the shipping community around the sea captain from tusk who sews people into walruses and the doctor who makes human centipedes
