Just like a comment above me said the faceless and unseen horror or wonder has been a thing in humanity since the beginning. So the all these eldritch beings are actually nothing new in terms of complte originality.The quite scary thing is that unlike the Cthulu mythos beings and the SCP ones which are tbh just very famous and good franchises, creatures like Kammapa were or are still believed by some people.

Pretty short game. One boss fight and it is over

I’ve heard several African myths involving babies who grow into young adults in the span of a day. It’s an interesting idea, and I got to use the story of Kojo as inspiration for a mythology-based writing assignment.

For a second I read it as: "Caramba - The World Eater" and was very surprised.

This is a great premise for a Sci-Fi story. Alien observers watch primitive man develop slowly over time. by accident, one of their lab experiments gets loose and falls in an escape pod down to earth. this Creature, with an insatiable hunger for all things organic begins depowering all the biomass it can. The aliens realizing the horror they Unleashed on this primitive species break the noninterference policy and imbue the few survivors left with extraordinary tools and abilities to fight back. it's only by a miraculous circumstance that pockets of human survive to restart a new.

6:07 When Kammapa ate Zoey, it's fate was already sealed. Never mess with a cat!

The real story is longer and not this cut short Im honestly so disappointedthat so many people watched this version of it considering how distorted it is and how the important parts of it were cut out. In the original,Ditaolane was born with great power,his name means Divine and he was born with a ring of gold necklaces around his neck,and its that after Ditaolane escaped from kammapa that all the villagers feared him cause he was able to defeat the kammapa and so they decided to kill him fearing his strength,they tried multiple times but never could until oneday out of saddness and frustration he turned himself into a rock as a way to hide,and a villager ended up picking up that rock and throwing it into the river,Ditaolane turned back into a human and left the village never to be seen again. The original story just shows how ungrateful the people were and how a hero didnt even get the praise or barely the gratitude from those he rescued that he deserved.

A story from Lesotho, I am now wed to this channel

The way he escapes from Kammapa reminds me of how Kaneda broke free from Tetsuo's bulging body after Kaori was crushed to death! I wonder if the makers of Akira were familiar with this story or if that was just a coincidence?

Do have to wonder why a monster with dozens of sharp fangs would make the mistake of not chewing its damn food though, lol. Especially since that directly leads to its undoing.

Terraria's corrupted big worm: Actually, it is Eater of Worlds.

YES! Extra Mythology!

Awwwww poor Kammapa, he just had the munchies.

that monster was one of the scariest things I've seen. And this is just a cartoon version of it

Oooooo, I'm so gonna write a story very loosely based on the idea of there being a whole other world inside the belly of a beast, and the people who were swallowed continued life for generations, eventually forgetting that there was an outside world, then suddenly someone comes from the outside saying that there is an outside and that they can leave if they all work together, but the even the idea of an outside causes a lot of instability and resistance from the people

I would live to see some more SEA myths like from Cambodia and Burma. I think the Khmer creation myth would be a cool video idea. And on a side note some Burmese history would be cool too since there's so few channels that talk about it.

Are you guys sure you haven't mistaken a scp for mythology?

Oh dang, I wonder if the eldrazi from mtg are based off this and the Cthulhu mythos

What separates us from beasts is that we chew our food.
