Untitled[edit]

This "Karakoncolos" creature/name doesn't exist in the greek mythology, not in the forklore. Try to "google" it, write it in Hellenic characters, do whatever you like, it's totally unknown. It may be the turkish equivalent of "Kallikantzaros", I don't know. But with same logic, why not merge it with the "Goblin" article too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.6.51.15 (talk) 08:33, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They are different[edit]

Absolutely, without hesitation Karakoncolos and Kallikantzaros are different creatures. There are similarities, but the differences are more numerous.Buzancar (talk) 07:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The grinch?[edit]

Is this the real story behind the grinch? Stories sound very similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1304:4804:D5FE:FDF5:80B1:75D1 (talk) 05:03, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kallikantzaros[edit]

The Slavs read the letter ç ans TZ and the Greeks KS. Karakonçlu is a word in Turkish meaning the black legged. Kara means black, konç means calf, German Wade, suffix LU has a possessive meaning or the meaning of 'with'. Karakonçlu means the one with black calf/legs. By kallikantzaros is the suffix -OS a Greek suffix, I believe.
