monsters from all over the world (folklore)

IV.Nachtkrapp

This German mythological creatures was inspired to induce fear in the children to make them sleep. Originated from South Germany, this folklore is described as a giant and nocturnal raven-like bird. Nachtkrapp usually goes out to hunt from their nest during nighttime. But, you may ask us, what do they hunt? They hunt little children for food. The main reason is children are smaller and easier to carry. They abduct the children to their nest and then start devouring them. They brutally rip their limbs and peck at the body to pick out the children's hearts. Some people even say that they carry a special bag to abduct the children away with.

For those with weak hearts, we have a tamer version of this story as well. This is called Wütender Nachtkrapp that means Angry Night Raven. They don't kill like the normal Nachtkrapp. They just make loud noises by crowing out loud and flapping their wings to terrorize children to stay silent. Then, we have another version depicting a benevolent version of the Nachtkrapp. This kind of version is called the Guter Nachtkrapp which means Good Night Raven. The bird enters the children's room and gently sings them to sleep. But, there is a scary twist. It was only inducing fear amongst the children by singing scary children's rhymes. And, then eat them while passing them with a 'haha' at the end.
