This "Karakoncolos" creature/name doesn't exist in the greek mythology, not in the forklore. Try to "google" it, write it in Hellenic characters, do whatever you like, it's totally unknown. It may be the turkish equivalent of "Kallikantzaros", I don't know. But with same logic, why not merge it with the "Goblin" article too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.6.51.15 (talk) 08:33, 16 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely, without hesitation Karakoncolos and Kallikantzaros are different creatures. There are similarities, but the differences are more numerous.Buzancar (talk) 07:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

The Slavs read the letter ç ans TZ and the Greeks KS.
Karakonçlu is a word in Turkish meaning the black legged.
Kara means black, konç means calf, German Wade, suffix LU has a possessive meaning or the meaning of 'with'.
Karakonçlu means the one with black calf/legs.
By kallikantzaros is the suffix -OS a Greek suffix, I believe.

I(m not sure I quite understand the passage in Zečević 1978 pp. 447–448
Веровања у караконџүлу су у околини Зајечара била нешто живља међу тимочким, загорским и косовским становништвом. Ређа су код влашке етничке групе. Ово се може објаснити већим утицајем оријенталне културе на етничке групе које су одржале континуи-тет становања на овом простору него на влашку, која је касније до-шла из прекодунавских простора, са унеколико измењеним обичаји-ма и веровањима.
translate google renders this as "Beliefs in the Karakondžula were somewhat more vivid in the Zaječar District area among the Timok, Zagorje and Kosovo populations. They are less common among the Vlach ethnic group." Does Zagorje mean an area in Coatia? which is not really close by --Kiyoweap (talk) 22:28, 1 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
