You’re probably familiar with a centaur, a half-man, half-horse creature from Greek mythology. But have you heard of the karakonjul? He appears in Slavic and Turkish folklore. His lower body is that of a horse with a dog, sheep, or livestock tail, while his upper body is a grotesque, hairy human-like being. One or two horns may sprout from his overly large head. He often has a single eye, and he may even have wings. The creature is a shape-shifter who may take on human form, or an animal such as a dog, cat, sheep, or calf.
