Humans are the perfect creatures because they have Steemit (hahaha, just kiding). However, in many ways, humans often look for animal references as symbols of strength, glory, wisdom, and intelligence. Animal life cannot be separated from human life as fellow beings.
In Aceh and elsewhere in Indonesia, the folktale of half-animal man remains eternal today. There are human tigers, human horses, snake man, crocodile man, Birdman, fish man, and so on. I have never heard of a human mosquito.
The Tigerman human story can be read in Eka Kurniawan's novel titled Lelaki Harimau which has been translated into dozens of languages in the world, including English.
Some people who have privileges, have a tiger within them, but not in physical form, but rather strength and courage. Uniquely, they can not control the tiger, it is the tiger that controls them. tigers often appear when humans are hurt, both physically and psychologically.
But how to explain this scientifically? I think, need a long research to explain it.
The story @donkeypong is interesting if written in novel form. Thank you for sharing.
Those are great stories, maybe worth a post or two from you? :)
In my opinion, it is more interesting if it is written in the novel. However, it takes more time and energy.
