Talk:Lou Carcolh

[Untitled]
I am sorry. In South-West of France (Gascony), carcolh is nothing but a simple snail. I never found the terrific monster, in any text or folklore relation. On Google you can find dozens of "Lou Carcolhs" (by the way, Lou isn't the first name, it just means "le" in French, or "the" in English), all originated (I suppose) from this Wikipedia article, or from the book of Carol Rose (that I don't know). But absolutely not from "French folklore" (unless you give good sources). Morburre (talk) 16:36, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This Carcolh doesn't occur in any tale or legend. Such monsters are modern creations for video games and fantastic literature. Actually, the little city of Hastingues (department of the Landes, France) is built on a hill and forms the shape of a snail : lo carcolh (they write carcoilh). In gascon, the local language, the snail. They say that sometimes, the snail gets off his shell to "eat" young and pretty girls. But this isn't so terrific. It's not even a legend, just a joke. And that's all. Morburre (talk) 19:16, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
