Erchitu

By Crusader1307

 From Ancient Sardinia (Italy), comes the myth of The Erchitu. They are ancient creatures that were part bull (head), with a human torso. The bottom portion is bull (only with 2 legs and not 4). They have razor sharp horns. The Erchitu are actually considered Were-Ox by some). A criminal or evildoer who was attacked and stabbed by an Erchitu will transform into one at the next full moon. It is also said that they have 2 candles embedded in their horns. If a person is brave enough (and a good aim), he can cut the candles in half (extinguishing them). This will free the soul of The Erchitu (but kill the human host).
