Info

Botchlings Botchlings are cursed beings arising from unwanted fetuses or stillborn babies discarded without a proper burial. They only attack pregnant women, sneaking into their bedrooms at night and siphoning off their life energy until, their victims weakened nearly to death, they can attack and drink of their blood directly. Botchlings look like macabre, deformed fetuses. They move around on wobbly, crooked legs and are wrapped in their own umbilical cords. In keeping with how they are described in Slavic folklore, they possess two rows of teeth—an attribute also ascribed to strigas, who like botchlings are born from children who die tragically. Also like strigas, botchlings can be cured of the curse that has made them hideous, after which they transform into lubberkins, household guardian spirits. 170 | 171
MONSTERS Water Hags These deformed humanoids dwell in swamps, bogs, and wetlands as well as on the banks of rivers and lakes. In appearance they resemble gigantic, hunchbacked crones with long, claw-like hands, drooping breasts, tangled hair, and gaping maws full of crooked, yellowed teeth. They hunt lone travelers and fishermen, and sneak into human settlements at night to kidnap the unwary and the unlucky. Water hags (baby wodne in Polish) appear in central and eastern European legends as harmless creatures that peer out at bathing youth. We decided to base our hags instead on tales of creatures such as the infamous Baba Jaga or Baba Drasznica—monstrous old women who feed on human flesh.
