How do you like my new monster?

Question by Vlad Tepes: How do you like my new monster?
Last spring, I was discussing my new monsters that I spawned for a horror novel. It’s a monster that I dreamed of. Sometimes when I’m either waking up or going to sleep, I hear words as I’m in my subconscious state of mind. They sound like the names of objects or places. I’ve even heard real-sounding names. I dreamed of a certain kind of creature that’s very similar to a vampire. I call it “the wungwah.” Like the vampire, a wungwah sucks the blood of its victim. Think of it as half-spider/half-vampire. That’s the best way I can describe it. The wungwah never ages and lives forever like the vampire. Like when a person turns into a vampire or a werewolf, they will do the same when they turn into wungwahs. The area around their eyes turn black while the person develops black spots all over their skin like a leopard. They develop fangs, too. Instead of growling l, they hiss. The wungwah can turn it’s victim into a wungwah if he/she chooses. They do this by biting the person and injecting them with venom like a snake or spider would. Most people think spiders eat their prey, but all they do is drink the blood. The same is true for the wungwah. Like vampires, wungwahs must also feed. Like Spider-man, the wungwah crawls along walls and ceilings and jumps very high. They move at brisk paces and have super-human strength. They travel underground like moles rather than fly through the air. Unlike other folklore, the wungwah originates in The Amazon.
The wungwah was spawned when the shaman of an Amazon Tribe drank potion made of venom, gypsum, belladonna, mandrake, datura, and morning glories. The shaman gave the potion to his tribe so they would turn into wungwahs to defend themselves against the Portuguese and Spanish invaders. The wungwah spread into surrounding areas of Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. They made their way into Central America through The Panama Canal. As they progressed through Central America, the made their way into Mexico and into the United States. The wungwahs made their way across the ocean through cargo planes and ships. This is where ships and planes disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. They became meals on wheels for the wungwahs. Just as they have the name “nosferatu” for the vampire, they have a name for the wungwah. That name is “battaranda.” Battaranda means “nightcrawler” in the native language of the tribe that became the wungwahs. The wungwahs made their way back to Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. This was another part of Montezuma’s revenge. Some of the Aztecs, who became wungwahs, infected some Spaniards. Ferdinand Magellan was killed in The Philippines when the wungwahs overtook his ship and nearly drank the crew dry. The remaining members were the ones defeated the wungwahs so they could return to Spain after carrying out Magellan’s legacy.
There are only three ways to kill the wungwah. Those ways are fire, salt water, and beheading. That was how the Spaniards defeated them. They realized they had to throw the wungwahs overboard to make them disintegrate in the salt water. The Portuguese were also successful in some efforts. Many vampire slayers were killed fighting wungwahs. They learned that they were fighting the wrong monster. When they tried to stake them through the heart, all they did was infuriate the wungwahs which then lead to the slayers’ demise. Many people in Mexico and the Southwestern United States mistook the wungwahs for chupacabras. Like werewolves, the wungwahs travel in packs. Whenever they hang, they encircle their victims and spew venom into the person’s eyes. Now the slayers face a new challenge. The only place you’ll be safe from one of these is in salt water. Either that or you’ll need a torch. The Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas were the only ones able to defend themselves against wungwahs. By surrounding their fortresses with torches, they were able to repel the wungwahs. Wungwahs are afraid of fire the same way that a vampires are afraid of crosses. An effective team of wungwah hunters would wear fireproof suits and carry flamethrowers. Or they would have to carry lots of swords to behead them. So now you know the legend of my new monster. How do you like the wungwah?
It looks like a person with giant black spots all over it’s body like a leopard.

Sounds interesting! When you say its a cross between a spider and a vampire, does it look like a drider or humanlike (for example Spiderman) or what?
