I feel that critters from German #folklore would be better known if they had snappier names. Or, in many cases, any names at all.
I know that the German language has a reputation for "having a word for everything", but the folk tales largely go for unnamed horrors. Which makes writing them up for #ttrpg monster manuals more difficult. 😉
