Description: Easter Island is a remote volcanic island in Polynesia. Its native name is Rapa Nui. It’s famed for archaeological sites, including nearly 900 monumental statues called moai, created by inhabitants during the 13th–16th centuries. The moai are carved human figures with oversize heads, often resting on massive stone pedestals.
Description: A mandala featuring the Slavic witch Baba Yaga, her hut on chicken legs surrounded by a fence of human skulls and bones, mushrooms, and her pets (cat, raven, owl). Autumn leaves swirl around her as she flies on her mortar and pestle. Two sayings associated with her and her hut are also written in Russian ("Foo, foo! I smell a a Russian smell!" and the poem to make the hut turn around so that you can enter it).

Description: The squonk is of a very retiring disposition, generally traveling about at twilight and dusk. Because of its misfitting skin, which is covered with warts and moles, it is always unhappy...Hunters who are good at tracking are able to follow a squonk by its tear-stained trail, for the animal weeps constantly. When cornered and escape seems impossible, or when surprised and frightened, it may even dissolve itself in tears. — William T. Cox, "The Squonk", Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods (1910)
