Melalo is a demonic figure in Roma folklore, taking the form of a dirty and unkempt green-gray magpie with two heads. The most feared being in East European Roma mythology, he is believed to be the personification of violence and insanity and is held responsible for all mental illnesses and all acts of senseless violence in the world. He is also both directly and indirectly responsible for disease, as he orchestrated the birth of his siblings, the embodiment of sickness, for his own sick pleasure. He is the embodiment of anger, rage, cruelty, rape, sadism, frenzy and insanity.
Biography[]
Birth[]
Thousands of years ago, the King of the Loçolico forced Ana, Queen of the Keshali nymphs, to marry him; however, Ana hated her husband and refused to have sex with him. Acting on the advice of a mysterious golden toad he had consulted, the king rendered Ana unconscious by mixing magpie brains into her food before raping her while she was unconscious, impregnating her with a son. Due to the abusive nature of the conception and the magpie brains that had been used, the son was born a repulsive, vicious two-headed magpie and was named "Melalo", meaning Dirty One.
Siblings[]
As Melalo grew older, he began to desire a wife and requested that his father conceive a daughter with Ana for this purpose. He advised his father to cook a fish in donkey's milk and drip the liquid into Ana's vagina while she was sleeping. The king followed his son's advice, causing Ana to give birth to Lilyi, the embodiment of all mucus diseases. Melalo took Lilyi as his wife and together they produced a number of other disease demons.
However, this was not enough for Melalo, who wished to create enough pestilence to destroy as much life as possible. Knowing that the king was jealous of his own ever-multiplying children, Melalo rendered Ana unconscious with a flick of his wing so that his father could rape her, after first convincing him to eat the meat of a stag beetle and a crayfish. This produced Tçulo, a demon in the form of a bloated sea urchin which enters his victim's bodies and uses his spines to irritate the inner walls of their organs, causing intestinal diseases and abdominal pains. Tçulo even tormented Melalo's sister-wife, Lilyi, so Melalo had his father rape Ana again to use worms he defecated on to produce a daughter, Tçaridyi, who could mate with Tçulo. Tçaridyi causes burning fevers and, like her husband, is known to particularly enjoy targeting women and men.
Still seeking more, Melalo convinced his father to feed Ana a soup containing a dead mouse and his own spit, impregnating her with yet another hideous creature. This time the child was Schilalyi, a she-mouse which causes cold fevers. Schilalyi began assaulting her siblings after she was born, so Melalo had the king rape Ana after consuming garlic soaked in his own urine, producing a husband for Schilalyi to keep her happy. The result was Bitoso, a four-headed worm responsible for more banal complaints such as headaches and stomach aches.
Soon enough, exposure to her diseased offspring took its toll on Ana, who became ill herself. Melalo advised her that she would be cured if she allowed mice to lick her sores. This did cure her illness; however, a mouse burrowed its way into one of her sores and was soon reborn from her womb as Lolmischo, embodiment of skin disease. Distraught, Ana begged Melalo to help her sterilize herself, to which he agreed, advising her to bathe in dung. This advice did not work, and during the procedure a dung beetle crawled into her body. She soon gave birth yet again, producing Lolmischo's wife, Minceskro, who is responsible for sexually-transmitted diseases. Melalo also gained one final sibling: Poreskoro, the embodiment of plague. However, this was not a child of Ana nor was it born at his instigation; his father birthed Poreskoro after the Keshalyi poisoned him with a cake containing dog and cat hairs, the body of a rooster and the powdered remains of a snake.
Even after Ana's departure and the King's divorce, Melalo and his siblings continued breeding with one another and producing more dread offspring, the embodiment of all other illnesses and diseases.
Nature[]
The eldest of the children of Ana, Melalo is also the cruelest and the most reviled. He is held responsible for all violence (up to and including murder and sexual violence) and mental illness in the world, believed to be caused by Melalo possessing mortals and driving them insane or forcing them to commit atrocious acts of cruelty. He is also fond of tearing out human hearts with his talons, which he did from a young age. As late as the 1950s, the Roma still referred to a violent, nasty and unscrupulous person as "Melalo's son-in-law".
The only way to defeat Melalo is to tie an amulet with his image to the afflicted part of the body, as this disgusts Melalo.
Trivia[]
- Even though he is an irredeemably evil demon, Melalo oddly still has his standards, as he does feel genuinely concerned for Lilyi's safety, as he honestly and earnestly fears that Tçulo and Schilalyi will kill her in order to tamper with and hack his methods and ruin his plan of extinction, due to Tçulo's sexual pestering and Schilalyi's attacks all being out of spite, misery and loneliness, which lead to Tçaridyi and Bitoso's births in order to appease and calm them down.
- For Tçulo's case, Melalo did what's right for him, as when Tçaridyi is born, Tçulo stopped being mean to Lilyi and apologized for his selfishness, much to Melalo's appreciation. This is further justified that Tçulo is the second-eldest male, and Melalo did see another use in his younger brother's abilities, leading to Tçulo being Melalo's non-wedding best man, despite their differences.
- In addition, Melalo did secretly felt stupid for not sympathizing with Schilalyi's plight about her loneliness-related loathing from Ana and letting her be temporarily even worse than both him and Tçulo despite their age and ability differences, with Schilalyi forgiving Melalo after warming up since Bitoso is born.
- For Tçulo's case, Melalo did what's right for him, as when Tçaridyi is born, Tçulo stopped being mean to Lilyi and apologized for his selfishness, much to Melalo's appreciation. This is further justified that Tçulo is the second-eldest male, and Melalo did see another use in his younger brother's abilities, leading to Tçulo being Melalo's non-wedding best man, despite their differences.
