Episode 10: Pukwudgie
On the tenth episode of Legend, Samm and Amy discuss the Pukwudgie!
What is a Pukwudgie, you might ask? Imagine a small gremlin-esque creature with a canine-like snout and an excess of body hair. Of course their visage changes from tribe to tribe. They originate from Native American folklore and these little guys range in demeanor from silly and playful to downright tricksters that will lead you to your death. Lets not forget their rules of etiquette as well. They’re staunch believers in respect. Do not stare or turn your noses up at them or you just might regret it. If you don’t think they’re capable of taking you out, know that they managed to supposedly take out a giant, and not just any giant… a god.
Listen as Samm and Amy dive deep into Native American folklore and also have their very first special guest! Lindsy, who is Amy’s sister, sits down with us and tells us about her very own personal encounter with a Pukwudgie!
Fool me once, shame on you… fool me twice, shame on me…
