Criaturas Fantásticas

Criaturas fantásticas:A través de la historia se han descrito criaturas fantásticas en la mitología, literatura, folclor e inclusive, en la mismísima Biblia, siempre haciendo referencia a su existencia y a testimonios supuestamente verídicos, documentándolas o reforzando el mito. El nombre de “Creature Feature” o “Especial de Criaturas” fue un título utilizado en el género de horror, en particular para la TV estadounidense, entre los 60 y los 80.Estas películas hacían culto a los clásicos del horror, filmes de los años 30 a los 50 e, incluso, la mezcla entre ciencia ficción y horror de los 50 y 60.No podemos olvidar al icónico monstruo Godzilla, en Japón, y muchos otros más.Dentro de la categoría de creature feature entran todos los monstruos de Universal como: Drácula, Frankenstein, el monstruo de la laguna, etcétera. Sin embargo, esas apariciones todavía no forjaban a las criaturas fantásticas como una figura alejada del ser humano. Drácula es un vampiro, pero su apariencia y comportamiento son casi iguales a los de un humano. Frankenstein es humano, pero su origen no es natural. Hombre lobo, vemos una transformación, pero se origina de cosas naturales y conocidas. También tenemos a la RKO Films con películas como “King Kong” y sus secuelas. Hasta el año 1933 aparece King Kong siendo una figura natural, solo que gigante.En los 40 tenemos “I walked with a Zombie”, donde aparece Carrefour, sin embargo, se trataba de una mezcla entre alguien de otro mundo y un humano (era un dios o demonio).Muchas de las películas que abarcan los años 50 y 60 incluyen monstruos nucleares o aliens que vienen del espacio. Quizá no sea obvio para todos, pero la mayoría de estas películas eran de tipo B, con muy bajo presupuesto. The thing from another world, (1951): la película, “The Thing”, se basa en ella (también un creature feature). Un grupo de científicos en Alaska descubren algo extraterrestre. Invaders from Mars, (1953): Horror Sci-Fi, nos habla del miedo a que vengan extraterrestres a conquistarnos. Creature of the Black Lagoon, (1954): me recuerda “Shape of Water”. Invasion of the body snatchers, (1956): criaturas que se meten en el cuerpo de la gente y generan réplicas perfectas. No pueden copiar sus defectos. Conforme la tecnología fue avanzando y se empezaron a poner más ojos sobre el terror, hemos llegado a ver criaturas muy interesantes en la pantalla grande.Algunos ejemplosGárgolas:Es la parte sobresaliente de un caño que sirve para evacuar el agua de la lluvia de los tejados. Las gárgolas evitaban que el agua contactara con los muros de piedra y provocara deterioros en los mismos. En la arquitectura de la Edad Media, específicamente en el arte gótico, fueron usadas en iglesias y catedrales, suelen ser grotescas y representan hombres, animales, monstruos o demonios. Tenían la función simbólica de proteger el templo y asustar a los pecadores.Jotunn:Criaturas de la mitología nórdica, eran una raza de gigantes de hielo que vivían en la fortaleza llamada Utgard, separados de Midgard. En la película “The ritual”, la criatura que aparece es un Jotunn, pero su aspecto es muy diferente al de un gigante y es descendiente del dios Loki. Es una criatura de cuatro patas, con una cabeza humana y con cuernos tipo alce.Hadas:Según la tradición, son espíritus protectores de la naturaleza pertenecientes a la familia de los elfos, gnomos y duendes. Suelen ser representados con forma de mujer y alas brillantes. Tienen la habilidad de manipular la magia y permanecen invisibles u ocultos ante el ojo humano. Su origen se remonta a la mitología griega, pero no es hasta la Edad Media que logran tener protagonismo.La obra “Lancelot ou le Chevalier de la charrette” de Chretien de Troyes, describe a La dama del lago, un ser que, entre varias cosas, se ocupó de la educación del héroe Lancelot. A pesar de que muestra todas las características de un hada, nunca se menciona el término, de hecho, este se empleó a finales del siglo XIV, en la novela “Melusina” del autor francés Jean D'Arras. También hay sin fin de leyendas celtas donde se mencionan a las hadas: el hada de los dientes, la Banshee, las lamias o ninfas (hadas de la mitología griega).Duende:Criatura fantástica con forma humanoide, pero de tamaño pequeño, con orejas y nariz puntiagudas y piel verde. Está presente en el folclor de muchas culturas. Al igual que las hadas, se les denomina cuidadores de la naturaleza y son muy escurridizos, con personalidad bromista. Gnomos: son mineros y custodian tesoros o piedras preciosas, además, lo codician llegando a robarle a las personas. Leprechaun: tipo de duende del folclor irlandés, significa “el que hace un zapato”. También custodian grandes ollas de oro y disfrutan de hacer travesuras. Se dedican a fabricar o arreglar zapatos. Se dice que puede quedar inmóvil si alguien fija la mirada sobre él. Trolls:Son una terrible raza antropomorfa del folclore escandinavo. Pueden ser gigantes –similares a los ogros–, o parecidos al ser humano, pero salvajes. Viven debajo de la tierra, en las colinas. En algunos cuentos, los trolls se vuelven de piedra si les da la luz del sol, por ejemplo, “TLOTR”.Wendigo:Criatura mitológica que viene del folclor de las primeras naciones, en particular de la Costa Este y boscosa de Canadá. Según la leyenda, genera deseos de avaricia insaciable y un hambre terrible que, incluso, puede hacer que la gente canibalice. Se asocia con el frío y las heladas.En México Chaneque: vendría siendo el equivalente al duende. Provienen de los mexicas. Se describen como seres diminutos que hacen bromas y esconden cosas. Nahual: se representa como un brujo o ser sobrenatural que tiene la capacidad de transformarse mediante la práctica de la brujería. Las tradiciones cuentan que todos nacemos con un espíritu animal que nos protege y nos guía, por eso los nahuales buscan convertirse en ellos para mejorar sus capacidades. Dzulum: parecido al jaguar, pero más grande y brillante bajo la luna. En maya significa “ansias de morir”. Chupacabras. África: Grootslang: es una criatura en forma de serpiente, pero con cabeza de elefante. Vive en las profundidades de una cueva en Richtersveld. Una bestia primordial que guarda un tesoro enorme, más vieja que cualquier humano. Un dios partió a su raza en dos, elefantes y víboras, pues así eran menos terribles. Inkanyamba: una anguila enorme, con alas, de apetito voraz y, por lo general, se le asocia con las tormentas violentas. Ammit: mezcla de león, hipopótamo y cocodrilo. Se come los corazones de espíritus impuros, condenándolos a penar eternamente. Filipinas:Aswang, es un monstruo que cambia de forma y devora bebés no natos. Si quieres reconocer a una de estas criaturas, busca tu reflejo invertido en sus ojos. Algunos atributos conocidos son que tiene alas y parece un lobo o un cerdo... Además, durante el día es una mujer, pero en la noche la puedes ver caminando en cuatro patas, con sus piernas y brazos invertidos. Tiene una larga lengua con la que succiona a los bebés del vientre de las madres.Mongolia: Gusano de la muerte: parece un intestino rojo que avienta un ácido corrosivo y electrocuta, asesinando a su presa al instante. Ittan-momen: es un rollo de algodón, como una banda, que envuelve a su presa hasta que los sofoca. Trinidad y Tobago:Mama d'leau: protege los ríos, de la cintura para arriba es una mujer hermosa y de la cintura para abajo es una serpiente.Paraguay:Teju jagua: con cuerpo de lagarto y siete cabezas de perro, mora en un cerro y su misión es cuidar la naturaleza. Se supone que come frutas, aunque había niños que desaparecían por el encanto de esta criatura para luego ser devorados. Introducción al cine de horror: The Gollem, (1920). Gremlins, (1984). Leviathan, (1989). Tremors, (1990). Saga Leprechaun, (1993, ocho películas). Tales From The Darkside (1990): el segmento “Lover's Vow” o “El voto del amante” sobre una gárgola. The Host, (2006).

This solo episode focuses on the Dobhar-chú, Ireland's "immature Loch Ness", also known as the "hound of the deep" or King Otter. Its characteristics are fairly consistent with a half-dog/half-otter image and its aggressive nature can only be described as terrifying in local sightings. Tune in to learn how this carnivorous lake monster may have origins in the real world. To follow up, Alena goes into the legend of the Grootslang. If you haven't heard of it, no worries because she did not either. This legendary cave dweller has rarely been seen, but that didn't stop people from recreating a horrifying, yet powerful looking monster.

Hey legends!

This week we go spelunking (figuratively, obvs) into the "Wondergat" or "Wonder Cave" that is home to the South African Cryptid, the Grootslang. Some sources say The Grootslang (or Grote Slang, Dutch / Afrikaans for "Big Snake") is a GIANT cobra (40 feet / 12 meters long), and some differ and say it has the head of an elephant and the body of a snake. Either way, it lives in the Richtersveld in South Africa and hoards gems (especially diamonds). We talk about the characteristics of the Grootslang, how it may have come to be (Dutch settlers or the indigenous Nama people, or a mishmash of both?), when the hell battery powered flashlights came about, why the Grootslang covets gems, and most importantly, what alignment it (and we are). We read a couple of excerpts from 'first-hand' accounts in the early-mid 1900s, and stress the importance of NOT BUYING blood diamonds, and don't recommend traveling with dynamite.      If you have any personal stories about creatures, monsters, or cryptids (even if you don't know what it was), please email us at stories@folkloreontherocks.com so we can eventually do a listener episode!
