In the process of repopulating Mythology Worlds with incredible new art, I have decided to start off the site's American Folklore webpage with a creature from my former home state: Pennsylvania.
Enter the Squonk

A hideous and miserable creature of the hemlock forests of northern Pennsylvania
It hides out in the woods, crying and blubbering about its own appearance.
When people attempt to capture it, it dissolves into a puddle of tears.
What a sad, tragic creature!
