Badalisc

Badalisc is a mythical creature that people from a town called "Mamoiada" in Italy believe in. Badalisc is said to be a scary creature, but only shows up at certain times of the year, mostly during Carnival period.

According to the legend, the creature talks in a funny language that nobody understands, except for another creature that lives in the same town called "Issohadores." The words that Badalisc speaks are so funny that people cannot stop laughing even though they fear the creature.

Badalisc is also known for its unique appearance. It has a burly body, a big nose, and a long beard made of animal hair. Badalisc's face is hidden by a mask, which adds to the creature's mysteriousness.

There is also a tradition where Badalisc is brought out into the town's central square, and people ask the creature questions about their future, and Badalisc answers in its funny language. People say that Badalisc's answers are always accurate, and they take them seriously.

Overall, Badalisc is both a scary and funny creature, but a beloved part of the culture in Mamoiada, Italy.
