And here's my entry:
Buto ijo, is a mythological creature originated from Javanese Culture, Indonesia. They've been depicted in folklores as a green giant humanoid monster. Resemblance of Hulk character in modern pop culture. Told in the stories that he hide in the forest, he would show-up when hungry, looking for children's to eat. Ewww... creepy. I think this creature was created by oldest to scare the children not to play near the forest, considering the danger of wild animals. Or it's a warning to children not to play outside till night because Buto Ijo would seek food at night.
Buto ijo adalah makhluk mitology dari kultur Jawa, Indonesia. Sering digambarkan sebagai raksasa berkulit hijau, mirip-mirip Hulk di kultur-pop. Sering diceritakan, makhluk ini akan keluar dari hutan ketika lapar, mencari anak-anak di desa terdekat untuk... dimakan. Serem yah..? Atau, karena digambarkan bahwa ia akan keluar dimalam hari, maka mungkin moyang kita menciptakannya untuk mengingatkan anak-anak agar tak bermain di luar sampai larut malam, karena sering digambarkan bahwa Buto ijo ini akan keluar mencari makan ketika malam tiba.
