Writing Prompts | 5 Terrifying Grotesque Mythical Creatures, You’ve Never Heard of
1. Karkles
Half man half fish, these creatures look like ordinary men from the waist up. From the waist down they have three legs covered in scales and webbed feet for swimming faster than a black marlin.
What is terrifying about this creature?
It has hideous strength and uses its half-man upper half to pretend to be a man overboard. When the shipmates would throw the rope over to drag the man in the Karkle would yank the men into the water. It then grabs them and swims them downward until they drown and it feasts on them.
It has been said that as many as ten men have been dragged in on one rope pull from a Karkle before.
Going fishing anyone?
2. Mabees
Mabees are tiny mothlike creatures but instead of eating your clothes, they feast on flesh. The dust on their bodies is a sleep-inducing dust.
They fly in quiet swarms and rest on sleeping victims in the night.
After they have put you to sleep with their dust the swarm will slowly feed on you for days until there is nothing left but bones.
Sweet dreams.
3. Carbas

Carbas are giant crab-like creatures with spider heads. They lurk in sea caves and mostly feast on seals and sea lions, but humans have been known to disappear in their caves.
They use their giant claws to grab their victims and break their bones, but bones won’t be useful anyways.
Carbas inject a poison through their fangs that dissolves everything inside the body, bones and all and they drink the insides after a day or two with their fangs.
4. Reebles
You’ll never look at trees the same.
Reebles are long stick-like creatures that hide in trees.
They look just like a branch and sleep during the day, but at night they awake and don’t move a muscle until they see prey coming along.
With one end attached to the tree and the other, they use to stab into the animal or human and drink its blood.
If they don’t kill you with the first stab they continue to stab until the prey stops moving. They prefer one go at it so they always aim for the heart.

5. Carcs
Carcs are unseen by the human eye.
Doctors have mistaken them for “flesh-eating diseases for years.” Ever heard of MRSA?
These creatures are a little larger than bacteria and don’t care who sees them. When they find a host they build a village on their flesh and start to dig and eat away.
A whole generation can come and go in the amount of time that a human goes through a day or two.
A civilization of Carcs can devour an entire human in 24 hours and the only cure is acidic.
Use these Terrifying fictional creatures from around the world as writing prompts to make up your own stories about like the show “Supernatural” did.
Use them to get your own ideas of creatures that could be lurking in your fictional forest, desert, mountain, or sea.
Make them hideous but also give them secret advantages over other creatures that make them even more terrifying.
The more creepy it is the more your reader’s skin will crawl.
Hopefully, you can use these fictional creature descriptions to create and describe creatures of your own.
Hope this helps!
Happy writing!
