5 Indonesian Folklore Creatures

There are a lot of different types of ghosts found in Indonesian folklore. But there are also mystical creatures in Indonesian folklore. Mystical creature that are influenced by magic or just cryptids that might have been around in the past. Here are 5 creatures from Indonesian folklore

1. Buto Ijo

They look like huge green trolls. They have fangs and they like to kidnap children by bringing them to its dwelling and just play with them. The children they kidnap are made into their slave to do their bidding. They would be forced to give it a massage or stand without blinking. Anything they like really.

When they finally get bored with the children. The children would be killed and eaten. It doesn’t care about the children at all rather all it wants from them is just entertainment and food.

Also, there are stories that the Buto Ijo can be used like a Toyol, as talked about in my other video, to gain riches by using black magic.
