This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Garkain (Australian Aboriginal)
Garkain is a legendary creature in Australian Aboriginal mythology said to haunt the dense jungle along the Liverpool River in the Northern Territory, Australia. Should an unwary traveller enter his domain, Garkain swoops down from the trees on his leathery wings and envelops them. It is a story parents tell to their children to tell them to not use physical violence as a way to solve problems.
After suffocating his victim with his foul stench, Garkain eats their flesh, leaving the intruder’s spirit to forever wander the vast jungle in search of their final resting place. Garkain are said to live in remote areas of the forest and swamp, in caves. Fortunately, folklore tells us this flesh-eating creature can be killed with mundane weaponary. The creature supposedly carries a horribly foul stench, which helps to stun and suffocate the prey.
