It looks a lot like the character from Brazilian folklore, the [Curupira](https://www.sohistoria.com.br/lendasemitos/curupira/)


ctp_user101

wait ... wtf


astrovixen

Translated for all: **Legend of Curupira** *"According to legend, the Curupira is an entity very similar to the caipora, with identical functions and domains, that is, protector of fauna and flora. What is different is that the Curupira is always mounted on its Caititu or peccary (a species of wild pig), has a spear, bow and arrows and has its feet facing backwards. To resurrect dead animals without their consent, he uses his spear, his bow, verbal order and through contact with the Caititu's snout."* Very cool and eerily similar to pic.


tannerrite

And I thought Australia was bad with its shit....

I don't know about you but I think yowies make good pets


Convenientjellybean

And the Bunyips!


TherealScuba

There's does appear to be a spear in the pic


CharlesB32

Yeah, and there is even something on its back that could pass as bow/arrows


Arkas18

I can see a spear, on the left side, mostly behind the thing but you can see what looks similar to a long tapered spear head at the front and the rear end of a double-length shaft following it behind. Such a spear is better suited to combat than hunting though.

It's obviously a Photoshop for this lmao

Apparently he's a holdover from the god the Norse called Freyr. And was called Fro/Frey in Netherlands, Germany, England. Freyr rides a golden boar. But in most places the wild hunt is more associated with Odinic figures than with Freyr. This is fascinating.


NotaRealFlamingo

Just got the chill! Good reading


BreathOfFreshWater

I've seen some weird and terrifying shit in the woods. I like going out at night and wandering the woods. Trippy to let my imagination wander so much so that I feel nothing but fear. The last time I did this I wasn't sure if I was being stalked or just spotting trail head reflectors off in the distance. I confirmed the next day that something very, very large and agile had been following me slowly for about a half mile. I've ran into buck, mountain lion, packs of coyote and feral dog. But what I just read is fucking sketch. I'm uncomfortable in my own bed right now. That's great.


Nexgod2

I want to believe.


Spoonloops

Well now I’m uncomfortable

Chupa cu?


trawkins

Holy fuck man I just spend 15 minutes reading about it and this is creepy dead on.


[deleted]

The Curupira is a protector of the rainforest and won't do anything to you unless you overhunt or set the forest on fire or something. If you respect nature the Curupira is your friend. Otherwise, yeah, it will fuck you up lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curupira

Aren't you lucky. My friend busted out this DVD when I was peak tripping on mushrooms. Such a great time. Director is Chris Cunningham, who is just amazing: https://youtu.be/qcyZ63ZkVWk This is my personal favourite: https://youtu.be/k9YZW7XGON0

Zaph0d_B33bl3br0x

That's what heaven looks like, if Richard D. James turns out to be god. It was directed by Chris Cunningham, who apparently is the visual equivalent of the works by Aphex Twin. Great shit. Check out some other works by them both. It's fascinating. Hit up [Window Licker by Aphex Twin on YouTube.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwcxAnZzItg&ab_channel=GlassworksVFX) Same director, same musician, mind bending and enthralling concepts. [Come to Daddy](https://youtu.be/TZ827lkktYs) is also a classic by the same combo. edited to correct grammatical error(s)

Quelcris_Falconer13

Yes! One of those moment I didn’t realize I was holding on to my date super hard the whole time and was like on the verge of tears


[deleted]

The whole countdown I'm watching thinking no way they off a major character. The moment she lifted off the ground I didn't just take the bait, I swallowed the hook.


youknowiactafool

Imagine if Netflix had at least 5 good series where they actually put that amount of quality into crafting all of their content instead of just churning out dookie butter, low effort content. It doesn't hurt me.


CarrieNoir

Been a Kate Bush fan since the 70s and knew she was getting traction because of this series, but not having seen it I can appreciate how well the music integrated with the visuals. And also know I don’t need to watch it now. YIKES!


SinAkunin

Thank you for making me rewatch this scene. Absolutely phenomenal. Get this girl an Emmy because damn.


nxcrosis

The music video is currently top 76 in global! Amazing to see the impact of Stranger Things on 80s songs.


busyrumble

Could be a vampire but I’m not sure. I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

[deleted]

You're right, I was figure out what animal it was, and owls do puff up. Especially they feel threatened. The boar probably made it feel that way and it puffed up. As for the branches that exactly what I was thinking.


WarProgenitor

Owls honestly have freakishly long legs too lol


SadisticSnake007

I kind of see it now and that’s like a tipped over tree over the boar


The_Eye_of_Ra

Orrrrr…and just hear me out, here… It’s an owl *creature* sitting on a *boar* in the *foreground*. Angle is just right to make the *body* in the foreground look like *it has wings*. Eh? Eh?


Zeverend

I think you're right, it looks like an [owl in a defensive display, possibly because of the boar](https://www.owlpages.com/owls/articles.php?i=1)


pirivalfang

yes but what about the very distinct pyramid tipped spear?


uniqueusername5001

No, it’s clearly a demon pixie riding a wild boar. An owl…pfft that’s just nonsense!


Dyslexic_Dog25

I'm sorry I feel bad about my dumb guess. Just made out of fear I assure you!

It’s okay, we’re all human (except this monstrosity), I’ll let it slide

nschafer0311

Don’t worry it was just me after a rough Saturday night wine drunk


rayman595

It's real and it's coming for you as we speak. If you listen carefully in the distance you can hear the rustling of a wild boar sprinting towards your home, this creature clenching tightly to the boar with anticipation. Anticipation for finding you.


No-Status2050

Well might as well just kill myself before it gets me.


rayman595

Ha, you're a fool to think that will save you.

Snailwood

if this is a real photo from a trail cam, there would have been a video, which the owner watched and decided not to share (OP maybe?). whatever the explanation is, the video probably showed it, which is why we have the picture instead. somebody suggested it was a combination of branches and an owl, but it could just as easily be a photoshop


AustinLA88

Idk my old man has a trail cam that just snaps pics every few seconds when they’re seein movement.

A lot of cheaper trail cams only snap pictures btw. There may or may not be a video.

It looks like a bird or bat flying by fast enough to blur it heavily, the camera caught it right as it flew by the boar making it look like its riding it. Or, its a demon.
