Basket Womanby ~kyoht

Download JPG 907 × 875
Concept design work commissioned by the table top RPG company, Pay Master Games. This will be turned into a miniature for their game Going Native: Warpath.

Dzunukwa, or Basket Woman, is an ogre/sasquatch monster who captures little children. She hauls them off in a basket she wears on her back, eating them once back at her lair. She’s commonly depicted with pursed lips, since she makes a loud “HUUUUUUUUUU” sound; mimicking the noise the wind makes when blowing through the trees.

Graphite.

She reminds me of a Zulu monster called "Isitwalagcengce," or "Basket Bearer."
Though, Isit' is said to look like a giant hyena with a lidded wicker basket for a head.

The Spanish had a very similar character called Sack Man. Interesting.

Wow, I can remember my Cherokee neighbors telling me the story of the basket woman as a fawn. You captured her image well!

Beware of Clamshell boy, Basketwoman! (There's a book that features Basketwoman and a brave youth who outsmarts her and rescues three naughty children.

Eating JUST children is definitely one of the more terrifying monster traits.
