Legends, Myths and Monsters of Malta!

It's a small, small place, so you may imagine that there just isn't the space on an island this size for legendary creatures to flit and lurk.  You would be wrong.  There are three I have discovered (on the internet, not in an X-Files style encounter), and I will share what scant information I've been able to uncover about them below:

Il-Belliegħa

Lives in wells, so easily avoidable.  Can snatch children with it's many toed foot, but will subsist on eels and worms if children are unavailable.  I didn't come across much information besides this, so just have a mental image of a many-toed foot on the end of a leg stretching out of a well.  Probably unlikely to warrant it's own movie anytime soon.
