Creating Nightmare
The Alp Monster is said to be
responsible for having nightmares. It is also known to sexually assault its
victim whether they are male or female. However, compared to other creature
associated with the vampire or other undead, this creature does not force
itself to its victims; rather it enters the victim through its mouth as a form
of a mist. It is also known to drink blood not in the neck but in the nipples
of the male or female victim.
Based on the legends, some mischievous trait of Alp Monster can be associated with the elves like spoiling the milk
of the baby, or putting soil in the baby’s diaper. Also like elves, they tend
to attack farm animals, sometime biting their tails or riding them through the
point of exhaustion, they also tend to disturb other small farm animals like
the geese.

Though Alp Monsteris more
associated with the vampire, its shape shifting ability is similar to that of
the werewolf. It also has an enigmatic hat that keeps it invisible, but the hat
remains visible. It is said that if a creature loses his hat, he will offer a great
reward for those who will find it. It possesses mystic eyes that give
illness and other mishap. The only way to counter that effect is to remove or
damage the eye.
According to the folklore, there are number of ways one can do in order
to protect himself from the attack of the Alp
Monster. Some of this includes putting a mirror in your chest, placing a
broom under the pillow, hanging a horse shoe on your bedpost etc. The crucifix
is also a good way to negate the attack of the creature. If at times you woke
up seeing this creature, you should ask him to return in the morning. It will leave you at that moment and return next morning in his human form. At
that point one must offer him with a gift and it will no longer bother you.
It can also be paralyzed by forcing him to eat a lemon. The creature can be
weakened but as stated on some stories, it is almost impossible to kill.
