tailypo

hello, my name is sean. most commonly, the man is described as being flayed beyond recognition by the tailypo. in less violent versions, the beast is simply said to attack the man with such force that when the sun rises, all that remains of the cabin is the chimney. either way, it is understood that the tailypo has exacted revenge for the loss of its tail. supposedly, during the darkest of nights, the creature can be heard whispering for its "tailypo." in some versions, the man's dogs are named (in order of disappearance) youknow, iknow, and conticocalico.
