Monsters--in other languages

I think it would be fun, if we have any members who are multilingual, if they wouldn't mind listing what some of the more popular monsters are in their native tongue. Any takers?

I'm a native English speaker, but I know that loup-garou means "werewolf" in French.

Chupacabra is Spanish for "coyote with mange".

Good to have you back Mac...did you slip on a kilt somewhere? Or was it all the Guiness you've been drinking lad?

It were pirates, Fella. But I made the best of it, drank lots of piÃƒÂ±a coladas, and lived to post another day.

How go things in the cave?

I am a native English speaker, but since relocating to the deep south have learned a few new words in Southern:

Whar-woof= Werewolf

Fam'pahr= Vampire

Wheech= Witch

Haint= Ghost

Boogerman= Devil

M'aw= Mother-in-law

I hope this helps with your research.

Where in the deep south are you? I'm almost afraid you might be in some kind of Deliverance country

We are in the South Carolina midlands and absolutely love it. Always someone to laugh with, always someone to laugh at. If, as Bill Shakepeare told me, "All the word's a stage", we have great seats.

LobizÃƒÂ³n is the S. American version of the werewolf.

As far as other ones, I'm not entirely sure... most countries generally have their own monsters/lore and there isn't a lot of cross-over. You might try looking at this list of cryptids:
