Okay so, might as well ramble about Trinidad and Tobago's folklore creatures!
First off is Papa Bois. He's the protector of the forests and animals that live within it. He is an old man with horns, hooves and leaves growing from his beard, and is also hairy. He can warn animals of approaching hunters with a hunting horn, and can shapeshift and lead hunters astray. However, he is benevolent once you do not harm the forest, and expects politeness from any person who encounters him.
Mama D'leau is Papa Bois' wife, and protector of the rivers. She is humanoid, save for her snake-like (I think similar to an huile/ anaconda?) lower half and hair made of snakes, which she combs with a golden brush.
Douens are the spirits of unbaptised children, appearing as small humanoids wearing large straw hats, with backwards-facing feet and no face save for a mouth. They are pranksters and will lead children into the woods. They can also mimic voices.
The Soucouyant is a vampire of sorts. During the day, she appears as an old woman, but at night, she sheds her skin and takes the form of a fireball. She then goes out to search for victims, sucking their blood and leaving blue-black marks on their skin. To "out" a soucouyant, you leave rice grains on the ground, which the sousouyant will count grain by grain. To kill one, you need to find the skin and rub salt and pepper on it.
The Lagahoo is basically our version of a werewolf. It can shapeshift into anything, but it usually have chains dragging from it and carries a coffin.
La Diablesse is basically a very beautiful woman with one leg ending in a hoof and wearing colonial-era clothing. She tempts men who wander lonely areas to follow her, usually ending up with the man being lost or dying.
