I have a question about the origin of kyrrmis from your Weird of Hali series. I had thought that they were an original idea, but I have recently come across a cartoon called Booba and the title character looks very much like what I imagined a kyrrmi would look like. He even behaves and has adventures like I imagine a solo kyrrmi would.

Booba is a russian cartoon and I can't find any english explanation about what he is.

Are these fictional depictions based on the same cryptid?
