Dydko
Dydko is a supernatural creature from Polish folklore that was originally a demon from Slavic beliefs, later relegated to the role of a bogeyman. The figure of a Dydko derives from the house guardian demon known in Russia, degraded after Christianization to the role of a devil, especially a forest devil, and finally to the role of the night scarecrow who was scared of children. Dydko is pictured as an awkward figure with a large head, usually on straw legs similar to spider legs. According to later beliefs, Dydko appears in the mirror to virgins who spent too much time in front of the mirror. He is believed to appear between midnight and 3:30AM, and to produce a disgusting slurping sound.
