I'm currently doing research for a story I'm going to write. I'm looking for some kind of a creature - fantasy/mythological/folklore - that's considered evil, but isn't popular; like vampires, werewolves, etc.
I'm thinking goblin; but they're more of a mechanic than they are of an evil creature. And orcs will make people thing LOTR. So, if any of you have any idea's, they'd be greatly appriciated! =D
