Germany Bahkauv
The Bahkauv is a mythical monster said to reside in Aachen. The creature has been featured in the folklore of both Aachen and the Rhineland. Often depicted as a deformed calf with fangs, the Bahkauv is commonly associated with harassing drunken men.
In 1902 the city of Aachen erected a statue of the Bahkauv, this statue was melted down for its metal in World War II, prompting the city to build a second statue in 1967. This statue persists to the present day.
