A vurkolak (also vǎrkolak or vǎlkolak) is an undead revenant or monster in Bulgarian folklore. According to the legends, when a person died in the wilderness, after 40 days, his swollen corpse or his blood turns into a vurkolak. In North-Western Bulgaria, the vurkolak is a wolf-like creature that devours the sun and the moon.
