BULGASAL MONSTERS & MYTHS

Bulgasal / Bulgasari

The legend narrates the story, from late Goryeo and is about a frightening monster that kept growing as it ate up all the metal around. People tried to kill it but could not succeed, and thus named the monster ‘Bulgasal (Impossible-to-Kill). The name Bulgasari is also interpreted, in a different set of Chinese characters, Killed-by-Fire.

Jomagu

In the drama, it is shown as the monster with three eyes, who is nourished with corpses. The legend, however, tells a story about a gluttonous monster, who grows up when someone hits it. In a varitation of another myth, it is mentioned to be related to underworld monsters.

Teoreokson ( water monster of Yongsan River )

It is said to be the water monster and is different than water ghost as instead of possessing them, the monster eats them. The peculiar thing is that this monster steals a person's ponytail before it attacks a person.

Gapsangoe ( monster of Mount Gap )

I saw your post about Korean mythology, do you have any sites/books you would recommend? I recently have gotten into Celtic mythology and I would love to learn more about Korean mythology! Sorry if this is a weird question!☺️ - @starlitpage

ahhh hello @starlitpage! thanks for the ask (definitely not a weird question, actually an amazing one :D) and I'm so glad you're interested in korean mythology! how is learning celtic mythology going?

Some books that have been recommended to me + the one I'm currently reading are: Eerie Tales from Old Korea and Korean Myths and Folk Legends (this was the one recommended).

This website is also a great place to get started! I looked up some common myths or creatures on this site, and it gave me results of myths or tales related to it, etc. It also gives information on a vast amount of Korean culture and rituals and traditions.

Hope this helps! I'm a bit new to learning about Korean mythology, too, as it isn't taught much. But hope you enjoy :)
