Being finnish, it's always hilarious hearing people not fluent with our mess of a language try to pronounce finnish words. Phenomenal work as always, Plague!
Me and my sister just looked at each other at suprise when in the Star Wars Han Solo movie the characters just went:
Solo: What was that!?
The girl: Teräskäsi
@@qwertyqwerty-ek7dy Oh yeah, I laughed my ass off at the theaters when that gem popped up in that movie, slapped my Star Wars nerd in the back crylaughing "They made it canon!" to his confusion, despite HIM being the bigger SW nerd.
@@Sn0wrip The first one of these happening to me was tho in the Resident evil revelations when they had to go into an enemy base in Finland called "valkoinen mökki".

Well, if the "extended universe" wouldn't have been axed (by Disney), then the "Teräs Käsi" has been a term ever since in the year-1996 "Star Wars Legends" novel "Shadows of the Empire".
It become more popular due the year-1997 Playstation (One-)game "Star Wars - Masters of Teräs Käsi".
But I guess it's kinda nice to make "pencak silat"-martial-arts more popular this way also, eh?

@@qwertyqwerty-ek7dy oh man! "Valkoinen Mökki" was such a beauty, especially since it was an airport ot some weird secret base.
I love when English games use Finnish names just because the mispronounciations are always hilarious.
I mean, It's kinda the whole package.
I like to hear you talk, I like most of the characters or concepts you draw and I like the pretty ladies... nye.
I used to watch your stuff a lot during the TBFP days; this video was the first time one of your videos popped back into my recommendations for years.
Your animations are amazing, and I absolutely dig your style. Hopefully the elder gods who are running the YT algorithms will see it fit to promote your videos to a wider audience again.
I actually liked the smug look you had going during the draft it really fits with the whole 'celestial in nature' of the myth. That being said it feels like we're going through a strange modernization of relatively more recent stories and fables, while kinda tossing the core concepts or meanings behind them to the wayside. It's nice to see you incapsulate as much of the folklore as possible in your drawings when you do these October drawings.
And I watch a Channel named saveafox and Timius and the other darker Foxes look absolutely like that one. It looks very accurate.
Another reason why bits of information on finnish mythology and deities (excepting the _Kalevala_ national epic) are often very scarce or contradictory is in part because of the Christians' conversion efforts during the Middle ages. Back when they came here to turn the local pagans to the new thing, they also tried to appropriate old gods and nature spirits into the Catholic canon by making their names synonymous with biblical demons so people would distance themselves from "the bad things that good Christians don't pray to" and just eventually forget about them.
For example, 'Hiisi' is a being that most people today usually associate with malicious boogieman creatures that lurk in uncivilised areas (Tolkien goblins, basically), but originally they used to mean a type of guardian entity that could be found near hills, mountains or other "places of great interest", while some mentions point towards them being all about guarding hidden knowledge, not the actual landmarks.
"you eat when it pleases me!"
i appreciate your dedication to unmonitized content. That's why your patreon is one of the last expenses I'll drop if the belt's gotta tighten. keep working hard and being your best you plague
If you want a Midwestern cryptid, there's always the Nain Rouge (Red Dwarf) of Detroit. A combination of French and Native American folklore, the Dwarf is known to appear before horrible events ever since Cadillac, the founder of Detroit, was cursed for smacking it with his walking stick. It's a red and black furry creature with a sort of wild, mischievous face. There's a recent local parade that was started to banish and or forgive the Dwarf.
Really neat idea to put the tail up and blend it into the sky like that. Looks great! She looks like she's having a blast! Puts me in a mood for some night running.
Man talks deeper topics to excuse drawing booba, very nice. I would watch them daily if you could make them at such a pace. If anyone could, really.
In Bulgaria there's an interesting one about the Lamya:
The lamya(or lamia) is a female version of a dragon, albeit slightly changed. It’s said that the lamya had three or nine heads (dog heads), sharp teeth, and a body covered in yellow scales. In some stories it also has razor-sharp claws and webbed wings.
Unlike your everyday dragon, the Lamya rarely attacked people, but it extorted food from them. It’s said that a lamya was capable of stopping rivers and lakes, causing droughts and forcing people to contribute sacrifices to it, after which it would allow rivers and lakes to flow.
It’s also claimed that brave warriors and champions have fought lamyas, but that it was very hard to kill them as all its heads needed to be severed in order to kill it. They are considered to be mainly water creatures.
I am once again asking for a waifu version of the Dobhar-chú, the Irish otter-dog-fish and king/queen of the rivers and lakes.
ask, and you shall recieve!
Terveisiä suomesta!
I had never actually thought about the connection between northern lights and foxes, even though the language makes it obvious in hindisight.
This has inspired me to go ahead and draw a fire fox of my own. Thanks!
A cryptid from Sweden that i only hear about once in a book about nordic folklore is "Gloson", sort of like a demon pig or boar with huge fangs and razor saw like back that it uses to split its victims in half by running between their legs. A pig might not be what you´re looking for in a monster girl but you wanted obscure creaturs from folklore and thats one i know.
This is a really cool drawing, and a really cool idea. I love the sexy animal lady's tail becoming the northern lights, and I love how we're getting alternative monster girls. Thanks for this, Plague.
Learning Finnish pronunciation is difficult for many other language speakers because it's very straight forward. Because there aren't many, if any, different rules of pronunciation depending on what letters are where, in a sense. Every letter almost always makes the same sound no matter what's before or after it in a word. For example the word 'function' in finnish is 'funktio'. Finnish doesn't use the letter 'C' because 'K' fills all uses for it. The way the 'ct' part in 'fun**ct**ion' is pronounced would be 'sh' in Finnish. And for words where the sound of an 'a' and 'o' change, like the difference between 'automatic' and 'apple', we have separate letters 'ä' and 'ö'.
This was really fun! I would love to hear more cryptid stories from uncle Plague.
It's not really unknown but it would be interesting, as jew the only monster I can think of is the Golem.
I'm not into monster girls but I really like to hear you rumbling :)
It would be interesting to see your take on the Norwegian forest/bog spirit, "Nykkjen" or "Nøkken".
I would love that, I love the picture by I believe Theodor Kittelsen
Love you Plague, hope we're able to see your art and hear your fun rambles for a long time to come
Might be simple, but I've always loved the folklore of the black dog. There's many specific and named examples of the entity from around the uk. Some are seen as comforting or benevolent, and others as a messenger or omen, but most are linked by themes of death. Love this series though, always a good time of year for this channel.
Sherlock holmes made him somewhat common.
Thank you so much for making this!
You are very right about Finnish mythology, it was very much hunter, gatherer living, very simple in a sense. Sadly, not much of the mythology survives today.
There is of course the Kalevala, a collection of poems dealing with the "Gods" and their antagonists, but all these minor bits and pieces, like the tulikettu, that still persist even as part of the Finnish language today, are almost lost... I'm very glad you made this, the tulikettu is as you've realized extremely obscure, but now more people will learn of it, even if it's only through this video and piece of art, it will live on.
The part about monsters having unspecific classifications makes me think of a coworker of mine who was into medieval fencing. Apparently, most swords in their times were just referred to as "sword." So a lot of the names for specific ones were just never used or given to them long after by people classifying them. I spose I just call every gun I see "gun" anyways too
I always come back to your videos, even if I don't have the time to watch them when they first come out
Love me some good Perkele
That changing of color in the winter is called "talviturkki" in finnish and the literal translation is winterfur. The actual english word is winter coat?
Also prediction of this getting more views as fins really like people from elsewhere talking about them.
That was quite nice photography actually. Thank you for sharing that much, and I'd like to see more in future videos. :)
PERKELE
...maybe weird cryptids were the friends we made along the way?
As Always, Hello Eli I Appreciate Your Demeanor & Candor ......Wendigo (Big Pimpin W/ Zombie/Wight Blue Crispies) + Illona (the lady that either she dies the child dies the husband leaves dies or abandons and then they all die) it is an Algonquin - Iroquois - Indigenous Ghost /Monster thing.... plus, I would like to see Elaborate Deer Antlers as rendered by your expert style! thanks for ...years of enteredutainment
The man, he post!
Thanks Plague as always for sharing.
The cryptid in my backyard is the Hodag of Rhinelander, Wisconsin.
Got to say gripes the drawing has improved man as always!.....
Now become an e621 artist.
always has been
@@ultimortalmoth7212 true
Well that was certainly a rabbithole I had to claw back out of...
You know what? Sure. Plague's style would fit that *domain* well.
I'm not even shocked any more.
Such a beautiful creature one day maybe I'll meet it
What you're saying that this is a 'fire fox'?
I'll be here all day!
Thank you for drawing my favorite web browser.
That was one of the best signing-off lines I've ever heard
Improving upon perfection might be folly, but you could try to make Nøkken sexier still, and I'd applaud the effort
Torille!
I honestly don't watch these videos for the lewd drawings I come here to listen to Plague talk and gripe about niche things I care about. I like to listen to these vids like a podcast while I draw my own lewd drawings.
october-november is the perfect time of year. plague, your cool, thanks!
This has to be one of my favorite pieces of yours yet! Have you considered making prints?
Confirmed unapologetic degenerate here. Come for the T&A, stay for the rant and craft. It can be pretty tricky to find a creature that both has adequate information and hasn't been exploited all to hell. Even harder to find beasts to convert to lewd anthropomorphs. If you've heard of the "god of the gaps" theory, cryptids are the animal version of the same. I appreciate the trip down the rabbit hole.
Always so random to see Finnish used outside of Finland. 😅
I was surprised how well Plague pronounced tulikettu. Nicely done.
It's really impressive how much you could glean from very sparse sources of information, and how close your assumptions are. And how you could talk about it for 40 minutes.
Especially you bringing up Käreitär. She's the "emuu", the origin (or "mother") of the fox species. Her part in helping the hunters was because the emuus thought to be able to decide who gets to succeesfully hunt their descendants, involving ritual spells and small sacrifices like a silver coin or bit of food.
Also you draw fox hot. Good done.
Have it be the Wendigo from the recent memes
curious, as Finnish person. i have never heard about this thing before xd
Bahamian here and just wanted to let you know about the Chickcharney a 3 foot tall furry owl-like creature from Andros island in the Bahamas. Its said that if a traveler meets it in the woods and is nice to it they will have good fortune and the opposite happens if you're mean to it. I for one would love a short furry owl girl drawing.
In New Zealand there's 'Kurangaituku' the bird woman, the story is normally called 'Hatupatu and the bird woman'. You'd probably get more out of her than the 'Taniwha' (practically a dragon) or the 'pakepakeha' magic white people who roofy Maori women.
When's the Let's Plague of Bloodborne happening 😀
Very nice
TORILLE!
For algoritmn to notice Plague.
loved the video cant wait for the next o/
Plaguetober Olympiad is here again. Celebrate 🎊
I really love the tail.
Always like these videos
Hey, Eli.
Love having you to listen to while I work.
If you check newgrounds messages anymore, left a suggestion there. Less of a proper cryptid and more of a one time entity which appears in a single poem, but we could use some reindeer girls ;)
As a fan of four legged furry waifus, i appreciate this uncle plague
I for one watch these because they're neat, AND because I'm a pervert.
I looked it up during the video, a looks like most fanart of the Tulikettu draw it with the usual orange kind of fox coat colors, Iike Plague's choise of black and white colors better.
And now I wanna see her in an anime. XD
Beautiful
I had no idea you were finnish

Those photos are interesting, mind if I reference them for my terrible drawings?
I completely get that you don't want to do anime stuff but I hope we'll see Professor Harkness again someday. It's such a funny character. I want to cosplay him but at the same time I hate costumes that just end up being a lab coat.
since you asked for suggestions last time i assume you still are interested
bezkost is a polish boneless vampire that can get through small holes

Oh wow! Using Firefox (heh) with the video in PnP mode, the stars in the clear section of the sky are twinkling. 🌟

I wonder what your take on the Hound of Goshen Hill in South Carolina would look like..
As a Finn I thought RUclips's stupid auto-translate was messing with me.
Repo has a little derogatory nature to it actually, it's associated with a fox who's scrawny and maybe tad mischievous due to the rough sound of the word.
what if i said i was here because it's interesting, AND monster girls are my jam.
what then huh?!
Hello Friend.
So imu is a female God? Hm... One Piece Theory?
If we talk about dark Foxes, lets give Saveafox a bit of Love, great Channel and Organisation.
About horror Monster, I think I prefere vaguely defined ones. You can make so many Storys around Vampires and Werwolfs, but it feels wrong splashing Frankenstein Jr. in, whitout also influding all of his lore. And if you understand a Monster, you kinda loose Interest in them. Them beeing not fully understandable makes it interesting, and supports curiosity.
I'd say Cerberus but Helltaker already exists. What about Nessie/Loch Ness monster?
American Splinter Cat

Just ugh...look it up
how about the african drider/spider god Anansi?
