Jawless Creatures? (5)

1 Name: Captain !RveDGKcqlE : 2016-01-25 12:04 ID:zqioi8Pj [Del]

I'm looking for a myth(s) about a jawless/mouthless creature, but I'm having a hard time finding them. Can someone help?

I don't know if this counts but there is the Kuchisake-onna aka the slit mouth woman from Japanese urban legends

Hm... the only ones I can think of would be Will-O-the-Wisp (They're like a ball of fire) and the Dullahan (they have no heads, thus no mouths).
Here are some sites I usually use for creature research, if you want to take a look through them. I mainly use Mythical Archive, they seem to do proper research. I haven't got around to investigating the facts on the other sites much. Hope they help!

The kraken, pretty sure squids don't have jaws

if it helps, im sure various greek mythos mythical creatures can be classified as Jawless/Mouthless
in certain depictions, christian myths also can be classified as so aswell
take a look at the silent hill monster artworks, alot of them despite being vaguely humanoid lack features like jaws and mouths
undead creatures in games may be outright missing a jaw, such as world of warcraft, too.
check out some creepypastas, if you consider them "modern myths" then im sure you will find creatures that fit.
