Rugaru

The Rougarou (alternately spelled as Roux-Ga-Roux, Rugaroo, or Rugaru), is a legendary creature in Laurentian French communities linked to European notions of the werewolf. 
The stories of the creature known as a rougarou are as diverse as the spelling of its name, though they are all connected to francophone cultures through a common derived belief in the Loup-garou (pronounced [lu ga'?u] in French and [lu g?'?u] in English). Loup is French for wolf, and garou (from Frankish garulf, cognate with English werewolf) is a man who transforms into an animal. 

Louisiana folklore
Rougarou represents a variant pronunciation and spelling of the original French loup-garou. According to Barry Jean Ancelet, an academic expert on Cajun folklore and professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, the tale of the rougarou is a common legend across French Louisiana. Both words are used interchangeably in southern Louisiana. Some people call the monster rougarou; others refer to it as the loup garou. 
The rougarou legend has been spread for many generations, either directly from French settlers to Louisiana (New France) or via the French Canadian immigrants centuries ago. 
In the Cajun legends, the creature is said to prowl the swamps around Acadiana and Greater New Orleans, and possibly the fields or forests of the regions. The rougarou most often is described as a creature with a human body and the head of a wolf or dog, similar to the werewolf legend. 

A common blood sucking legend says that the rougarou is under the spell for 101 days. After that time, the curse is transferred from person to person when the rougarou draws another human’s blood. During the day the creature returns to human form. Although acting sickly, the human refrains from telling others of the situation for fear of being killed. 
Other stories range from the rougarou as a headless horseman to the rougarou being derived from witchcraft. In the latter claim, only a witch can make a rougarou—either by turning into a wolf herself, or by cursing others with lycanthropy. 

Native American folklore
The creature, spelled Rugaru, has been associated with Native American legends, though there is some dispute. Such folklore versions of the rugaru vary from being mild bigfoot (sasquatch) creatures to cannibal-like Native American wendigos. Some dispute the connection between Native American folktales and the francophone rugaru. 
As is the norm with legends transmitted by oral tradition, stories often contradict one another. The stories of the wendigo vary by tribe and region, but the most common cause of the change is typically related to cannibalism. 
A modified example, not in the original wendigo legends, is that of a motif of harmful sensation story—if a person sees a rugaru, that person will be transformed into one. Thereafter, the unfortunate victim will be doomed to wander in the form of this monster. That rugaru story bears some resemblance to a Native American version of the wendigo legend related in a short story by Algernon Blackwood. In Blackwood's fictional adaptation of the legend, seeing a wendigo causes one to turn into a wendigo. 

You can not become a rugaru. You have to be borne one. You can also not tell that they are one until they finally eat meat then they become a hole bother person. You are then able to tell by the smell of decomposition and blood around the mouth. 

The only way to kill it is to slice its head off.

Wendigos


Wendigos are creatures that where once human but lose the features of a human after being frost to eat human flesh, because of avalanches, mining accidents, or some other accident that cause hunger to one. Some myths say that some accent tribes' shamans would eat human flash to protect their tribe, but soon see the effects are permanent. Windigos have supernatural speed, intelligence and strength, they are also live for years on end if given the right amount of food to live. The Windigo can hibernate for five to six years at a time. The Windigo can not enter protective circles with Anasazi symbols. The only way to kill the creature is to do so by fire, but it is extremity difficult do to the fact of super intelligence, strength, and speed.

Medusa

Medusa

      Medusa is a legendary myth from Greek that states that she can turn you to stone with one look. This fact applies for everyone. 
     Medusa may appears human from a distance but if you look closer you will see scaly like skin like that of a snake. It's hair contains swarms of snake but the hair will not come to life at the age of two.
      Now you may have notice that I say it instead of just her for you see there are more than just one. There are male Medusas but very rare to though who don't know or live with Medusas. Whith this in mind they are also able to have childern. But due to the few males that they have it does not happen often. 
       The childern grow as though a human would until the age of 20. They are harmless when they are just born and until the age of 2 when the snakes come to life. 
      If you plan on going on a hunt for Medusas don't go and look in its eyes or you'll end up as a part of her/his collection. Bring thing that are reflective and use her/his own reflection agents them.

Vampirers

Vampires

    These blood sucking monsters have been around for years and have never cease to amaze us. The movies like Twilight is more of a insult to though who are or of vampire decent. They do not sparkle or any of that. Their eye color does change with what they eat for humans it is more of a bright red and animals or blood substitute its a kind of golden hazel. If their eye color is black or a dark color make sheer to stay away or become lunch.
    The main way to tell if someone is a vampire is to look at their teeth and their habits. If this person is really seclusive and likes to be alone a lot and has a problem with blood they are more likely to be one. A vampire can create others to grow an army of feeding grounds or other reasons. The people the vampire turns are know as children or kid to the vampire. The children see the vampire as a god. They often call this vampire a Sire or Master depending on the person who turned them for three years. During the first three years the child will have to (for lack of better term) drink from their Sire and learn the basics about being a vamp.
     The vampire does have a destined mate that they will live forever with and in love. The mate can be any thing living or once was excepted zombies. If the vampire's mate is mortal than it will turn it and bring it up differently than its children. Specking of children, a vampire female can have children but only with its destined mate. The child of a vampire grows like a human until the age of 20.

Werewolves

Werewolves

       First of there are more than one type of werewolf: there is the pure-bloods, half-bloods, and then there is the mud-bloods. A pure-blood is a werewolf that is bitten or born of two pure-bloods. They are less dangerous then the half and mud-bloods. They don't have to change during a full moon but their wolf is more dominant during this time. The only time they change is in anger or if they don't eat enough meat before hand. A half-blood is born between a human and a human. They are more dangerous than the pure-bloods because they do change during the full moon and anger. These are the one that you usually hear about in moves and books. They tend to eat a lot of meat, too. The last one is the most dangerous, the mud-bloods have the wolf out all the time they are no longer human. They come from a failed bit or other mud-bloods. The mud-bloods   look a lot like a wolf on its hind lags, the are hunched over and have very little though complex.
       Werewolves don't live forever. The few who do had to eat a live baby to become immortal. The reason why for the though of youth in a baby being born with so much youth at a young age. It is like the Fountain of Youth only permanent.
       It is hard to tell if a person is a wolf or not because they have adapted to living in close environments with humans. A pure-blood is the hardest to spot because they can control their wolf side better then a half-blood. They can act, look,say, anything that is human but they will be more aggressive during the full moon week.
        As for harming a wolf, silver only works in the movies, sorry don't go making silver bullets and shooting them at one, they will probably dig them out and make a nice neckless out of them after they pick you out of their teeth. Dont get me worng they are not imortal they can be killed. beheading works as long as you keep the head and body away from each other


First off this is not the normal blog. If you think or believe that anything is real this is the site to get it. I will be posting a new myth each week to let you know what you need to know and if they are dangers or not. You don't have to believe to find an interest  in here, too.
