ROGGENWOLF

A kind of werewolf in German folklore.  It is represented by the last sheaf of corn and is supposed to have a mother called the Kornmutter.

One wonders if the entire notion of lycanthropy is somehow connected with corn in some cases through the ingestion of ergot, an hallucinatory drug derived from corn.

DID DRAKE DEVOUR HORSES?

An English legend says a plow aand team of horses sank in soft ground at Drake Hollow, in Lincolnshire, England.  When the horses disappeared, it seemed that a drake flew out of the hole they made in the ground.  Had the Drake eaten the horses?


Now, it has never occurred to me that Drake might favor horsemeat in their diet.  It is possible that in this legend the Drake was originally a Dragon.  As generations passed, the local peasantry confused Drake, meaning a dragon, with Drake, meaning a male duck and this is how this curious legend came to have so singular a predator.

BROKEE - IRISH LAKE MONSTER

A species of Irish lake monster is the Brokee, which derives its name from Irish broc shi. which means literally a fairy badger.  A number of lakes are said to house such a creature.  One of these was supposed to dwell in Shandagan Lough in County Clare.  This was seen by a man named Quinn.  Another was seen at Rath Lake in the same county.  What physical characteristic gave it the fairy element in its name is unknown to me.  The word shi may indicate a preternatural attribute generally and vaguely.
