Squasholiger
Squasholiger
Origin: American Folklore
Description
The "squasholiger" is a strange creature of American folklore that spends part of its life disguised as a squash, gourd, pumpkin, or other such vegetable; it grows to an enormous size, whereupon its eyes, mouth, and legs are formed, allowing it to detach from the vine and creep away. By some accounts, the squasholiger is peaceful, staying around the area it grew up in to eat insects and other pests, but in other accounts, it is a sort of vampire which feeds upon people in the area - usually not the farmer who grew it, who may remain strangely untouched by the beast while everyone else withers and dies.
