In Wampanoag and Narragansett traditions, Hobomock was the manito (spirit) of death-- a destructive, often evil being usually in opposition to Kautantowit. Hobomock was sometimes also referred to as "Chepi," which means "ghost" in Wampanoag. Hobomock is the subject of many Wampanoag 'bogeyman' stories, warning children away from dangerous or naughty behavior. In other legends, Hobomock plays macabre tricks on adults such as stealing their eyelids so that they can never sleep again or twisting their feet to make them lame. After the introduction of Christianity, Wampanoag and Narragansett people began to identify Hobbomock with the Devil.

About Kernell Eggs

There is something a little off about this egg. It looks as if some black licorice was melted and candy corn was stuck into it to form the protective covering for the creature inside. Maybe whatever is inside loves candy.

About the Kernell Creature

The Kernell loves candy. The more you feed it junk food, the faster it will grow. Honestly though no one really knows what the Kernell is. The SAR Center has come out and said that the makings of the Kernell are a combination of candy corn, licorice, and what might be some type of fire or hot candy. But really it is anyone's guess at this point.

The Kernell is very mischievous, pulling pranks on those around them in order to steal their candy during Halloween. So what out! Keep your candy hidden and not in plain sight when one of these are around. Otherwise if you have one for a pet, you can sleep easy knowing that your candy is safe. You might even find a few extra pieces from your Kernell for being such a great owner!
