Fouke Monster

The Fouke Monster (also known as the Boggy Creek Monster or the Southern Sasquatch) is a North American primate cryptid - it is described as a large humanoid similar to Bigfoot but has some differing traits, such as claws and a more aggressive nature, which makes it more like a Yeti or Devil Monkey.

The Monster is said to vary in size, with the original stories having it standing at around 7ft in height while more modern sightings have topped the charts at nearly 10ft in height, in all accounts it has long arms, sharp fangs and claws as well as thick fur, while the Bigfoot is a calm cryptid the Fouke Monster is infamous for killing livestock and even attacking humans.

While the entity has been around since pre-European times via Native American folklore the first real sighting of the monster proper would be in 1970, it would also serve to inspire innumerable films and documentaries, the most famous of which would be the horror docudrama known as "The Legend of Boggy Creek", as well as its numerous sequels.
