#MonstrousMay Day 7: Camouflaged
I wrote my own version of a Sussex folktale for this, and got a (fictional) 19thC folklorist, the Rev. J. D. Allardyce, to annotate it!
It's The Dairymaid and the Knuckerhole, where a knucker (a water dragon in Sussex) camouflaged himself and attacked people. Like all good folktales there's a dark underbelly but an HEA.
