A turtle the size of an island. A cricket that can possess you if swallowed. A giant who turns enemies to stone. The legends of Southeast Asia—or "the lands below the winds," as explorers used to call it—are populated with a whole menagerie of colorful beasts that inspire awe and fear in equal measure.

Until now.
