A bunch of myths

DUE TO NOBODY’S SUGGESTION, I STARTED PUTTING 3 MYTHS IN A POST TO AVOID FLODDING THE SITE.
The Golem (Jewish Folklore, Central Europe)

The Golem is a being created from inanimate matter and brought to life through Hebrew rituals. The Golem is a servant and protector, but it can become mindlessly destructive if not controlled, symbolizing the dangers of unchecked creation.

The Curupira (Brazil)

A protector of the forests in Tupi-Guarani mythology, the Curupira appears as a small, reddish-haired boy with his feet turned backwards (to confuse hunters). He uses his supernatural powers to punish those who hunt for greed or harm the woods, leading them astray in an endless loop or unleashing beasts upon them.

The Rusalka (Slavic Folklore)

A water nymph, often the spirit of a young woman who died a violent death near water (by drowning or murder). Unlike Western mermaids, rusalki are not always beautiful; they can be sorrowful, seeking justice, or vengeful, luring men to their deaths. They are associated with early summer festivals.
