Jadehawki’m kinda sorta back, and i’m gonna try do one of those monthly challenges. and since i just bingewatched #thewitcher recently, i decided to do #monstermarch and draw creatures from eastern european myth & folklore:
#monstermarch2020 pic 1: strzyga.
a strzyga is an undead creature that drinks human blood at night. they were created when a person with two souls died, because only one of the souls would move on to the afterlife. one way to defeat a strzyga is to sleep a whole night in her lair. since the name appears to be derived from the latin word for owl, i gave her some birdlike features.
