Cuegle
The Cuegle is a creature from the myths of the Cantabrian area in Northern Spain. It stands upright, has a horn on its forehead, three arms without hands, and five rows of sharp teeth. It has three eyes, one red, one blue, and one green. It’s omnivorous and will eat anything it catches, usually searching for vulnerable prey rather than actually hunting. It’s known to target nesting chickens, unattended children, and small animals. It can be repelled by holly or oak leaves being placed around the house but is unkillable. Citations: Bane, Theresa.
