31 Days of Monsters - Day 11: Oilliphéist

Oilliphéist is a massive serpent from Irish mythology that is said to have cut the path of the River Shannon. Once, Oilliphéist swallowed a drunken piper whole. The piper, unaware that it had been devoured, continued playing and drinking from inside the beast. After hearing the same tunes played over and over, Oilliphéist became so crazed, that he vomited up the piper unscathed, just to end the unceasing music.

31 Days of Monsters - Day 2: Alphyn

The Alphyn is a rare heraldic creature from European legend. Spectacular in appearance, Alphyns combine the traits of dragons, wolves, goats, eagles and serpents into a fearsome form that has to be seen to be believed. Of course, they also combine the viciousness of those same creatures and should be avoided at all costs.

31 Days of Monsters - Day 1: Kappa

Kappa are dangerously mischeivous Japanese yokai who live in ponds and rivers. They have an indentation on the top of their heads that must be kept filled with water when they venture onto dry land. An easy way to defeat a Kappa is to bow to them before they can attack you. The Kappa will respond by bowing back, which will drain the cavity, leaving them incapacitated.
