Just found out about the Rougarou. Shit rules man. Try saying Rougarou without having fun.

For those who don't know the Rougarou is a cajun/french werewolf legend.

Anyone else monster brained? What are your favorite ones?

An Indigenous user here commented that W*, second in your list is tabu and says it should be referred to as such. Interesting thread.

Didn't know it was a name of something that shouldn't be mentioned.

One of the reasons that I listed it is that over the years, different tribes (though I can't remember which tribes or clans within tribes) would have a slightly different mythologies behind them. Though this would be the first time I've heard about it being taboo to mention it. Thanks, (I hadn't followed that thread that far down ...)
