“The Varcolac”

The varcolac is a creature of many different forms from Romania. Said that it would swallow the sun and the moon it is also believed to create the eclipse of the sun and moon. These creatures are said to be a wolf like animal but they could appear in other forms like goblins but mostly they are usually in the form of a wolf. The Romanians would refer to the varcolac as a wolf demon because of the fear they would have when they saw it swallow the sun and moon.
Most of the origins of the varcolac say that it is a ghost or well for some reason a vampire but I don’t get that one at all (would love to know why but what can I do). They have several ways that this creature is born and well some of them aren’t that nice and some are just weird but here they are: the souls of unbaptized children that have died in anyway, children that was born from unmarried parents and they are cursed by god for that reason (well that means me huh), because someone swept out their house at sunset and swept towards the sun (see this one I don’t get well do you if so let me know why), and if a woman spins a night without a candle or they spin the night casting spells (and I don’t get this one either so sue me).
This parts short what they appear to look like well most of the time they appear to look like dogs always in groups of two but can be smaller than dogs at the same time. Some say they look sort of like a dragon but hey whatever they see im going to stick with the dog forms myself, but anyways they also have a spirit form too but ill get more into that in a few.
Now in Romania the word varcolac actually means werewolf which now you see why im sticking with wolf look a like, but it can mean goblin too why not sure I haven’t learned Romanian just yet but I am working on it so just give me some more time ok. But the word varcolac is now really from Romania its really from Slavic but it still means werewolf so its not that big of a deal anyway. And there is also another creature that looks like or it says resembles a varcolac but its called a pricolici and it too lokks like a werewolf so I know why they it resembles a varcolac.
Now when these things sleep their souls leave their bodies and if you move their bodies they die because their souls cant find their bodies and that would suck really bad.
