The Blackman, also known as the H?ki’al is from Mayan lore, from the Chiapas highlands of southern Mexico. It is described as a cannibalistic black demon with wings and a deadly penis reaching six feet long, which he uses for his unsatisfied sex cravings. He kidnaps women at night and takes them to his cave where he rapes or seduces her. She will have a curse upon her, that is if he doesn’t eat her first. She can never return to her village, she will have a very bad smell, and her children will all look like the Blackman. The only way to destroy him is to impale him, burn him, or cook him.

The Drunken Boy, from Japanese lore, is a demonic ogre that drinks the blood of his targets. He often wears red and tends to favor women as his victims. In medieval Japanese lore, a hero named Raiko disguises himself and gets into the Drunken Boy’s lair. Raiko finds the ogre and others sucking blood from young females. He then shows himself and decapitates the ogre. He takes the head back to Miyako (Kyoto) and saves the women.

The Alu was often described in Babylonian legends as a black dog.

Introduction

An alu is an interesting combination between Armenian lore and Christianity. It is described as being a half-human, half-animal hybrid. The al is also seen in Babylonian lore, as a spirit that causes diseases, and takes the shape of a black dog. It has one fierce eye, iron teeth, tusks like a wild boar, long hair resembling serpents, and brass fingernails. It is also said that it sometimes wears a pointed hat covered with bells, which can make the alu invisible. They like to dwell in dirty, sandy, damp places, so they are often seen in stables, along the road, and sometimes they arefound in abandoned houses.

Christian Origins

In Christian lore, it is said that after God created Adam from dust he created an the al from fire. The two did not get along, as a result, God created Eve for Adam to substitute the incompatibility. This spun the Alu into a horrible rage. From then on he hated women, especially those who are pregnant, as it symbolized man’s love of women over him. He would strangle the mothers-to-be and pull out their liver, along with the unborn child’s liver. It also can cause miscarriages. Also, besides the unborn, the alu can steal and kill newborns as old as seven months. It is believed that St. Peter came across the creature by the roadside, and asked it to identify itself. It then proceeded to tell him his name and told him what he did to women and babies, making itself known to Christians.

Protection

If you want to protect yourself against the al, it is best to keep a lot of iron around, as it is thought to hurt or repel it. Prayers and charms are said to work as well. It is best to put these objects around the bed of a pregnant woman and to keep an iron knife under the pillow just in case.
