Pan is not depicted in art until his worship spread from Arcadia in the early 5th century BCE. In this image from an Attic drinking vessel, Pan appears with the head and hindquarters of a goat, playing a double-reed (aulos) rather than the more familiar Pan-pipes (syrinx).

"apartheid" you mean South African-style apartheid.

Kappa are water-dwelling yōkai known for their mischievous and sometimes dangerous behavior. They have a depression on their head called a sara (Plate) that holds water; if it dries out or spills, they lose their strength. Offer a cucumber with your name on it to appease them! #Kappa #Yokai

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a #yokai tree known as jinmenju. It has flowers that look like human heads. If you laugh at the tree, the heads will laugh back. However, if you make them laugh too much, they'll wilt and fall off before bearing their face-shaped fruit.

In Journey to the West, Zhu Bajie, a pig demon with tusks, was once Marshal Tianpeng, commanding heavenly soldiers. After a drunken incident at the Peach Banquet, he was punished by the Jade Emperor and reborn as a pig.
While Sun Wukong wields 72 transformations, Zhu Bajie boasts 36 of his own.

Saddened to learn - courtesy of Fortean Times - that Tony 'Doc' Shiels has passed away. "Monstrum" was a highly formative book for me and I still occasionally scrawl 'nnidnid' on random surfaces.

As the saying goes, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.'
In ancient Chinese folklore, there’s a guy who took this a step further by surviving a snake-filled valley by doing as the snakes do.
