An A to Z of Modern Monsters - A to C

An A to Z of Modern Monsters
(A - C)
A is for Abtu & Anet
A pair of sacred fish from ancient Egyptian mythology. They swim before the solar barque of Ra (the Mandjet) to guide him and warn him of any dangers ahead. The main dangers they were supposed to warn Ra of were hydrogen-filled hippos and any airborne crocodiles.

B is for Banshee
A fairy woman from Gaelic folklore, who is a predictor of death, you will hear their wails or keening before someone important to you dies. Spoiler alert! Don’t watch a movie or tv show with a Banshee otherwise, you’ll soon find out which of your favourite characters isn’t going to survive.

C is for Caipora & Curupira
They are creatures that inhabit and protect Brazilian forests, the easiest way to tell them apart is that Curupiras have backwards turned feet. This helps them to confuse any poacher who tries to track them, but sometimes it can cause themselves to get a little bit lost.
