This week, we travel to Asia to explore the myth of the Baku.

The Baku is considered a good spirit, and commonly depicted in charms and other good luck items in Asia. His power, to consume bad dreams, leaving in place good luck. Anyone suffering from nightmares, should call out the Baku's name three times after waking.

The name Baku originates from the Chinese 'Mo', or 'Tapir' the animal it happens to be based on. However, the Baku is drawn as having the body of a horse, lion or tiger like face with elephant trunk, ox's tail, and feet like a tiger.

It's a stretch, but you can almost see the resemblance to a Tapir in that.

Here's a few artist's take on the Baku.




And a very unique tattoo of the Baku:
