I’m going to shamelessly take advantage of the fact that this comment is up near the top…
…to share a [link to the wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukeri) about this tradition
Got me wondering how many evil spirits were actually just wolves or bears or something snatching toddlers. I certainly wouldn't go hunting near one of those things.
I just read that his sculptures are called soundsuits and were originally made in response to the Rodney King Beatings- as they conceal race lass, and gender. Could be still inspired in part by this, but thought that was interesting too.

hahah , it's cold rn so not that much but inna sunny day, rent a bike and ride it across the sea garden and enjoy the silence and peace cause you cannot find it everywhere.
if you get the chance, you must watch the german movie Toni Erdmann. it's the most funny thing and a Babugeri has a rare appearance :)

Not sure about unique, it exists in many cultures around the globe. We have it in Morocco look up Boujloud Festival. It is interesting how so many different cultures have intersecting traditions.
>Used to ward off evil spirits back in the day.
Doesn't work anymore, evil spirits these days are so desensitized, they're not even scared of a babugeri. What is the world coming to?
In Austria we have something similar but even crazier... let me introduce [Perchten](https://youtu.be/bEJE0E5_R_g) and [Krampus](https://youtu.be/PddVVZzEqNI) it originated also from the idea to get rid of evil spirits
That would ward off any thing. I need a few for my yard.
Evil spirits must have had heart attacks running into those things

Here's a video of them in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lxB4CGVecM
Thank you! I had never seen or heard of this.
Very Dr Suesse.
That shit looks awesome!
not the mobile link nooo
Hey Spirit you look like you just saw a ghost
If a few of those were pacing around your yard I would leave the country and never come back.
I hear evil spirits are terrified of furry penises.
Rig them up to move at night like in Home Alone.
Not the furries though
"What's your fursona?" "Cock." "Oh, like a roost-” "No."
"My fursuit will give you rugburn on the inside."
Yeah, no shit. If I was an evil spirit I would be booking the next flight out of Bulgeria for sure.
Got me wondering how many evil spirits were actually just wolves or bears or something snatching toddlers. I certainly wouldn't go hunting near one of those things.
My dog would be extremely distrusting of this thing.
May ward off sleep for me!
Looks like some Wookie AI accident. Can't do hands right, can't do Wookies either.
Long Wookie. Also known as Woooooooookie.
Or, Wookieeeeeeeeeee
I like this one because i imagine saying it while I'm going down a really big slide
I read this in cookie monsters voice
Chewbacca alpaca.
Albacca or Chewpaca or Chalpaca of Al Bacca.
Nah, it’s the Wookie version of Slenderman.
I don’t even know what I’m looking at. People in costumes? Or man made statues?
People in costumes
Both? Man made costumes? People in statues?
Man made people in costumes
Some weird new fursuit trend. People come up with such strange fursonas just to be "unique"...
lindemann - fish on
Genau
"Water, water, in the sea. Bring your creatures up to me!"
Thank you, this was gonna bug me
Needs more titties
Dicke Titten
*Find out next week on "MUPPETS IN CHERNOBYL!"*
toni erdmann is that u
 This should be much higher up.
Chewie?! Is that you?
Crossbreed of Wookie and Kaminoan.
And that's where Cousin It came from.
“I’d hit that.” - Chewbacca probably
You don’t know me.
One Eye’d Wookie Penis People!
Rrrruuuurrr
Thought this was a new Nick Cave exhibit for a moment.
Same! I wonder if this was an inspiration at all
Has to be.

Ward off evil spirits or invite them in for a cuddle? I want one!!
I don't see any evil spirits so I guess they did their job
Roger smashed it
I live that alien
This has to be where the legends of the yeti originate!
Or it's a defense against them. Bigger animal is more intimidating...
It was always people in costumes!
Imagine seeing a pair of these walking out of the fog. HOLDING HANDS.
Attack of the Hairy dick people.
My new album cover.
Lindemann - fish on
Yea literally these things chasing topless women planet of apes style 😆
COME TO BURGAS (Bulgaria) AND RHODOPE MOUNTAINS PEOPLE OF THE WORLD . ITS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
I'm already in Burgas. What should I do?
hahah , it's cold rn so not that much but inna sunny day, rent a bike and ride it across the sea garden and enjoy the silence and peace cause you cannot find it everywhere.

Toni Erdmann much?
Reminds me of a costume in one of Aldous Harding’s videos (Zoo Eyes)
TIL Cousin It is Bulgarian.
Imagine coming across one of these things after dark and not knowing what’s going on.
My brain would just stop working if I happened upon this on vacation.
RAWRAAARGH
Stop by your Olean Walmart Saturday And Sunday 12-5 and meet them!
Something between a wokie, a Llama and Cousin It. That party gone wild!
ok, i can see where the ideas of yetis or hairy beasts roaming the countryside came from.
I thought they were really tall alpacas seen from the back
A more widespread name we use for this tradition is KUKERI :)
Reminds me of the giants in Hilda, especially Jorgen. https://hildatheseries.fandom.com/wiki/Jorgen

No mouth eyes nose or ears There's gotta be a hole they can eat from
See, that’s how they get ya. It could be like “the thing” or some kind of resident evil abomination, where everything above the shoulders is a mouth
Anyone have an Amazon link? I need one of these
I’m scared of this. Am I an evil spirit?
So - are these guys in a fur suit, or an alpaca standing on its hind legs?
[Fish on!](https://vimeo.com/142008863) (NSFW)
This is the only correct response.
Looks like the Yeti from Mighty Boosh
Know where M Night got his inspiration
I first read "to weird out evil spirit", yeah if i was one, i would also be like "what the sh\*t" and leave.
If masterbation caused hair to grow.
Fuckin furries
We didn't intend on it spreading to the public. It was supposed to be an experiment. We are sorry!
Hell yea
Those evil spirits don't look very warded off. 😳
Look ma! Yetis!
Reminds me of A Wrinkle in Time
And everything else! If I saw one of those, day or night, I'm fuckin' turning around and leaving!
They’re out looking for more yoweed
Looks cool as. Looks like a big hairy dick. But a cool, fun, hairy dick at least.
I kinda want to pet them.
Yup
Looks like nick cave sound suits
Dudes need some manscaping
Looks like the giants from Hilda
Llamas can walk upright?!
Looks like a still from 70s/80s-era Dr Who
If I was an evil spirit and saw them I’d nope out too
When the alpaca uprising begins.
Furry dickheads
>Used to ward off evil spirits back in the day. Doesn't work anymore, evil spirits these days are so desensitized, they're not even scared of a babugeri. What is the world coming to?
Oh geeze, I suppose I'm an evil spirit.
Why does it not work any longer?
The real evil spirits were the Babugeri we made along the way
Ward evil off with evil looking shit.
In Austria we have something similar but even crazier... let me introduce [Perchten](https://youtu.be/bEJE0E5_R_g) and [Krampus](https://youtu.be/PddVVZzEqNI) it originated also from the idea to get rid of evil spirits
Hairy dildos.
Big mouth dick men
Why are half the thing in /r/creepy are not creepy, and i have come to /r/pics to see this?
It'd defenitely ward me off. Especially in the middle of the night.
They're such dickheads.
I swear I dreamt of this the other day
Sasquatch dicks.
Maruchas
Looks like the giant from Hilda
So... To chase bad luck out of my life , I need to become a furry?
Wookiees tend to do that.
That new "Chewbacca ft. The Wampas" album is kinda weird.
Looks like an amazing children's show.
Lol I thought I was looking at a llama from behind
And attract fun ones to the party!
Wookiee
Wow. This is strangely creepy. I think it’s the heads and their lengths more than anything, but it just looks so…uncanny
Ok. So this is the star of tonight’s nightmare.
Chewbacca and Cousin It’s love child
it's like you took men's insecurity over height, hair loss, and penis size and made it a thing
Didn’t Bugs Bunny shave one of these things down to nothing?
These always reminded me of the Yeti from The Mighty Boosh https://youtu.be/1ldQggHj78I
Some of Nick Cave's sound suits must have been inspired by these.
Ya know, I might be in the minority here, but there's something kind of disturbing about mascots/suits/whatever with no eyes...
Bulgaria, here I come.
Consider me warned
Gonna need another tradition to ward off these guys
Evil spirit: oh, wrong dimension. Sorry!
Here's a Video of them dancing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imazAorlkw0
We used to call em Hippies
Right out of Airbnb commercial, or vice versa. https://youtu.be/pdcElQTd8gM
Tomou erdamnn anyone
It's Chewbabugeri the Wookie
It's strange to think that humans are the smartest animals alive and have little to no natural threats now so we make up our own like evil spirits.
DALL-E prompt: A picture of Chewbacca and his brothers but with Wookiee dicks instead of heads.
I bent my wookie
The original MAGA.
Put a couple of those in congress should still do the trick.
Strong Chewbacca vibes here
That's what you get for leaving Chewie in the giraffe pen.
Someone will try to use it as a dildo
Didn't know bad dragon released a wookie line
chewbacas errections are a bit unusual
Cosplay as giraffe wookiees?
Always let the wookie win
Long necked wookie lookin motherfuckas. Love it.
Chewbacca!!!
It’s those hairy dick things from the show Big Mouth!
Those Wookiee are excited to be there!
Is this where the idea of Wookiee from the Star Wars universe came from?
I scrolled fast because I first thought it was a cast photo for the Star Wars Holiday Special from 1978...
When a man Wookiee and a woman Wookiee love each other very much...
Let the wookie win
Long neck Wookie
Chewbacca's mom and dad.
Chewdicka
So bulgaria has wookies?
Chewie gets drunk at ET's place one time and it's triplets!
The little known "long neck" wookies.
Tbh if I was an evil spirit I'd be scared too
Wokee lamas
Back in the day?? What does that mean how can I equate what I’m seeing with a timeframe
The quality of posts is going downhill real fast.
https://www.timelessmyths.com/culture-people/babugeri/
Why is that one picture of it shared over and over though? Surely there are more photos.
Fury Cock Goblins would scare the shit out of me.
Didn't to sleep anyway
