The Light eaters

These are the Light Eaters from The Enchanted World Book called 

"The Book of Beginnings". 

The People knew that Eclipses were caused by 

the hungry wicked Monsters 

who perpetually stalked the celestial Bodies like 

the Wolf was howling from the 

Scandinavian Spruce Forest of Norway, 

a sinuous Chinese Dragon from China and the giant Fish 

from the magical Bestiary of the Jews from Israel. 

Nevertheless, one of the Creatures sprang at its prey and took a Bite 

and all of sudden, the Sky went dark.
