    Dakhanavar/Dashnavar

    The Dakhanavar is an evil mountain spirit from Armenian myth. They are believed to live in remote areas around Mount Ararat, where it lurks up trees or hides inside hollow trees. They lie in wait, watching for victims to walk by and then follows those victims until they go to sleep. They often target campers but in desperate situations may sneak into homes or remote inns to find prey. They are also known to attack any who attempt to map the region, even just counting the hills, due to the fear they may lose their hiding spots. They creep up to sleeping humans and drain their blood from their toes…
