Summary
We resume our journey to the west right where we left off: the Tang monk has been kidnapped by demons, and it's up to Sun Wukong and Pigsy to save him...if they aren't too busy making tiny monkey babies out of Sun Wukong's fur, crying, and talking to fantasically bearded men to save him.
The creature this time is a monster skunk that isn't farting everyone to death! It's actually kind of way worse!

| 0:00.0 | This week, on Myths and Legends, we're back in the journey to the West with the Monkey King, |
| 0:04.9 | and you'll see that if your pet sheds tiny, angry versions of itself, |
| 0:09.6 | well, that might be a problem, and that you shouldn't talk to strangers, |
| 0:14.1 | unless those strangers are suspiciously walking alone, up the most dangerous roads possible. |
| 0:19.7 | The creature this week is a giant monster who just wants to fill your home with his poisonous, |
| 0:24.9 | stingy fluid. This is Myths and Legends, Episode 218, and Dersanman. |
| 0:41.1 | This is a podcast where we tell stories from mythology and folklore. |
| 0:44.6 | Some are incredibly popular stories you might think you know, but with surprising origins. |
| 0:49.6 | And others are stories that might be new to you, but are definitely worth a listen. |
| 0:53.6 | Previously on the podcast, we've tracked the monk, Shwanzong, as he was recruited by heaven |
| 0:59.0 | to journey to the West to retrieve scriptures from a faraway temple and redeem the world. |
| 1:04.7 | On that journey, he was joined by Sun Wu Kong, a flying, shape-shifting, |
| 1:09.8 | staff-wielding magical monkey king, Pigsie, a super strong pigman with a rake, and you long, |
| 1:17.4 | a dragon in the shape of their horse. When we last left Shwanzong, |
| 1:21.5 | he was being carried away by a tiger demon to the lair of a demon king. We'll jump forward a |
| 1:27.1 | little bit. After Pigsie and the monkey king killed the tiger demon, and now monkey is fighting |
| 1:32.9 | and winning against the boss, the demon of the yellow wind mountain. |
| 1:40.9 | Monkey leapt high in the air, jamming his hand into his side, tearing out a clump of his own fur, |
| 1:55.2 | and shoving it into his mouth. As he chewed, he narrowed his eyes at the demon king, |
| 2:00.6 | lumbering from his cave, armoured with a sword in hand. They had been battling for two hours, |
| 2:07.2 | but this was going to end now. Monkey spat the hair into the air, and each one turned into a small |
| 2:13.8 | monkey king, like one quarter the size of Sun Wu Kong. Sun Wu Kong's eyes flashed, and he grinned. |
