The beast’s origins remain steeped in mystery, but legends claim the ghostly animal seeks its missing owner who vanished centuries ago without a trace. Vengeful Corpse: In the minds of these primitive folk, they share the bogs with the spirits dwelling beneath their murky depths. To appease these temperamental beings, nomads ritualistically sacrifice vanquished enemies to the bog’s resident deity. They usually strangle their victim before hurling the lifeless body into the stagnant water. During exceptionally hard times, some superstitious people even murder one of their own and offer the mutilated carcass to the hungry bog in a futile effort to assuage the god’s anger. Just like dead vegetation, corpses decompose at an exceedingly slow rate. The bog’s unique environment tans and mummifies the skin and organs. In many instances, the degree of preservation is such that scholars examining an ancient corpse pulled from a bog mistake it for someone who recently died here. Oddly, the bog’s acidic water leaves the skin and internal organs largely intact other than its unique discoloration, but it destroys the bones. Still, the lack of internal structure does not prevent the vengeful corpses of past victims from rising out of the cloudy waters to avenge their untimely deaths.
