Stuhać

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stuhać is a demonic mythical creature in Slavic mythology, recorded in Herzegovina[1]. Though its name is similar with zduhać, there is no actual similarity.

Stuhać lives in high mountains and barren areas; how it looks isn't described, however it is known that it wears clutters made of human ligaments on its legs, so that it wouldn't slip on mountain precipices[1]. If its clutter broke, he would pull ligaments from someone's legs to make new one[1].
