Karnabo
... that in Ardennes folklore the elephant-trunked humanoid Karnabo could render one unconscious but also cure whitlows on Good Friday?"le Karnabo est un monstre au visage presque humain avec des yeux de basilic et un nez en forme de trompe." (which I translate as "the Karnabo is an almost human-faced monster with the eyes of a basilisk and an [elephant's] trunk for a nose" from: Delmas, Marie-Charlotte (1 June 2017). Dictionnaire de la France merveilleuse (in French). Place des éditeurs. p. 477. ISBN 978-2-258-13660-1. "son horrible sifflement nasal paralyse ou asphyxie qui passaent trop proche de l'ardoisiere et fair mourir les bestiaux" (which I translate as: its horrible nasal whistling paralyses or asphyxiates those that pase close to the slate quarry and can kill animals") and "mais il avait transmis a son fils sa puissance diabolique et autres privileges celui de guerir les panaris le jour du vendredi saint" (which I translate as: but he transferred to his son his diabolical power and other privileges, that of curing whitlows on Good Friday" from: Seignolle, Claude (12 November 2015). Contes, récits et légendes des pays de France, Volume 2 (in French). Place des éditeurs. p. 409. ISBN 978-2-258-13491-1.- ALT1:... that in Ardennes folklore it is said that the trumpeting of the Karnabo, a humanoid monster with an elephant's trunk, and the wails of its young female captive can be heard during thunderstorms? "une jeune fille qui s'etait approchee de sa demeure fut capturee par le karnabo qui l'entraina dans son souterrain. A dater de ce jour on ne les revit plus ni l'un ni l'autre on entende encore et les gemissements de la pauvrette et le terrivle rugissement nasal du karnabo" which I translate as "a young girl who had approached its home was captured by the Karnabo which dragged her into its underground lair. From that day, neither was seen again, we still hear the moans of the poor thing and the terrifying nasal roar [trumpeting] of the karnabo" from: Delmas, Marie-Charlotte (1 June 2017).

Interesting folklore, on few but good-looking sources, all in French accepted AGF. I prefer ALT1, but think we don't need the young female to make it interesting. How is this:- ALT1a: ... that the the trumpeting of Karnabo, a figure from Ardennes folklore with an elephant's trunk, is said to be heard during thunderstorms? - In the article, please lin Ardennes and Bohemian in the lead, and consider to make the other creature a redirect, mentioned bolded in the lead (unless it will have its own article).--Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:46, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
