This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Tsuchigumo (Japanese)
Tsuchigumo, known as the purse web spider in English, are found all over the Japanese islands and throughout much of the world. Long-lived tsuchigumo can transform into yokai. They grow to a monstrous size, able to catch much larger prey—particularly humans.
Tsuchigumo live in the forests and mountains, making their homes in silk tubes from which they ambush passing prey. Like other spider yokai, they rely on illusion and trickery to deceive people. While the jor?gumo use their sexuality to seduce young men, the tsuchigumo have a wider selection of deceptions—and often bigger ambitions.
