Psoglav
Psoglav (literally doghead) is a demonic mythical creature in Serbian mythology; belief about it existed in parts of Bosnia and Montenegro[1]. Psoglav was described as having a human body with horse legs, and dog's head with iron teeth and a single eye on the forehead[1].
Psoglavs were described to live in caves, or in a dark land, which has plenty of gemstones, but no sun[1]. They practice cannibalism, by eating people, or even digging out corpses from graves to eat them[1].
Psoglav is a chtonic demon, somewhat similar to Greek cyclops[1].
