American Bestiary

Locally termed the Woods Devil of Coos County.

They are a lanky, exceptionally thin cousin to Bigfoot, standing up to eight feet tall. They are covered entirely in matted gray hair and possess an elongated facial structure that closely resembles a horse or a moose.

Native to the vast, 4.7 million-acre isolated forest ecosystems of Coos County and Dixville Notch in New Hampshire.

Highly elusive and incredibly shy, they possess an unparalleled biological aptitude for camouflage, standing perfectly still to blend seamlessly behind tree trunks. If pursued or frightened, they exhibit an extreme flight response, emitting an otherworldly, echoing screech as they scarper into the night.

Emerging in the 1930s, the creature was originally part of a pantheon of 'fearsome critters' invented entirely by veteran lumberjacks to haze and terrify new employees. Decades later, hunters began reporting genuine encounters, cementing the legend.
