Can you guess which is the Ghoul?
Origin: Arabia
Description: The Ghoul is a variety of Djinn, the
offspring is Ibis (Satan.) They come in a
myriad of forms, even as a beautiful woman, but they always have hoofed feet.
Disposition:
They dwell in the deserts and attack travelers.
You have one chance to kill a Ghoul.
If you are unsuccessful each blow you deliver will make the Ghoul more and
more powerful. Used as a bogeyman to
frighten misbehaving children.
P.S. They feed on corpses.
P.S. They feed on corpses.
And they feed on corpses. There is quite a few of them in the Arabian Nights :D
ReplyDeleteI knew I was forgetting something!!!
DeleteCool! I don't know much about Djinns and I need to correct that. I'm loving your posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Arabic folklore is quite extensive. I have read a bit, but I know I have to read more!
DeleteDidnt know the origin of ghouls was Arabian! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThere are varieties of ghouls that are different. Thanks for the comment!
DeleteI love the 'whole of nature' depiction here, one arm high-one arm low and perfect exposure. I'm guessing that I see more than one.
ReplyDeleteVery fun!
Thanks for your visit!
Thanks for the stopping by. I'm glad you liked the post.
DeleteWhat a fun theme for the challenge - and educational! Ghouls certainly are nasty buggers, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteWishing you continued success with the A to Z challenge,

Thanks for stopping by. If I were out alone in the desert, a Ghoul would not be a welcome!
