Grindylow Pictures

A grindylow is a folkloric creature that originated from folktales in the English county of Yorkshire.

Grindylows are a sort of "bogeyman" used as a ploy to frighten children away from pools, marshes or ponds; they are said to grab little children with their long arms and fingers and devour them if they come too close to the water's edge. They appear as some kind of light mud colored octopuses with large heads and big yellow eyes. Peg Powler and Jenny Greenteeth are similar water spirits.
