Variations: Lomi, Lossie, Los, Moose, Elk
The Lomie is a beast found within the forests of Bohemia. It has a sac-like bladder under its neck. If pursued by hunters, it pauses at a nearby body of water to drink and fill up its neck-bladder. Then it runs, heating the water to boiling. When cornered by hunters and their dogs, it vomits the boiling water onto them, scalding them and making good its escape.
Heylyn merely refers to the water as boiling-hot. The Book of Marvels adds that the boiling water is incredibly toxic, causing incurable wounds and making skin and flesh slough off.
The name is derived from the Polish Lossie, the plural form of moose, while Los is singular. It is probably a typographical error on Heylyn’s part. Topsell lists Los and Lossie as synonyms for the elk or moose, and also ascribes the regurgitation of scalding water to the moose.

Damn it looks completely different to the original design you had. Still, I’m not complaining, it looks awesome

Yeah I had to shelf Scrotey McScroteface because further research proved it was just a moose. Shame really 😦

There’s a yokai named Shiofuki that has a similar look (long tube snout), if you want to use the old design for something else. I should warn you, however, if you decide to search for it on the internet, PLEASE specify that you’re searching for the mythical creature; shiofuki means “spray” or “squirt” in Japanese, and I saw a lot of horrid images when I forgot to make that distinction.
