Compassion is one of the fundamental aspects of true humanity, and many a true "monster" has held a beautiful or otherwise normal appearance, yet inwardly been a beast of the worst description.
The cave where these human monsters made their home is believed by locals to be haunted to this day…and has never been fully explored.
Among these are the pincher-packing "Metaluna Monster," (Argentina, 1957) and dozens of others which have been described as having hands which were 'mitten-like.' This in turn recalls the centuries-old tradition of what Katherine Briggs called "the deformities of the fairies," which were often similar descriptions of fairy, troll, gnome, etc. hands and feet.
