Did you know that #Korea is home to a #metal #monster?

The Bulgasari is a creature comprised of an elephant, a tiger, a bear & a bull.

An outlaw #monk once created it from rice, fed it needles, & it grew fat on the metal.

The government sent soldiers to kill it, but it simply devoured their weapons.

After being beaten by the monk for disobedience, it fled & is believed to still roam the Koreas.

This is a drawing of a Bulgasari. We see two identical creatures here. They have a navy blue body with small dots on them, probably emulating elephant or rhino skin. Their feet end in paws, like those of a tiger. Their tails are fringed with red hair and their torsos are rippled in pink, like armor. Their heads are large with tufts of fur in blue and red around the cheeks, chin, and ears. Their mouths bear large scary teeth like that of a big cat and their noses are elephant trunks. Their eyes are yellow, like a rhino's. Their demeanor overall is menacing.

@mythologyandhistory @Tom Roberts I wonder whether the designers of Brütal Legend knew of them when they designed the beasts used as mounts by the Zaulia.

After checking out the game, I'd say the metal beasts there may be more likely based on Chimaera from Greek mythology. Primarily due to what they can do (short-range fire breathing, female touch, etc.), which would also fit to their handlers (the Zaulia seem to be amazons)

Fun 😁🤘
