Creatures of the Mountains
& the American South

Large humanoid creature with massive wings and glowing red eyes. Often appears before disasters. Witnesses report a chilling screech and an overwhelming sense of dread.

A tall, apelike figure roughly 6 to 8 feet in height, covered in dark brown to black hair. Cleveland County's wildman mascot, known for bothering dogs, moving through yards, and watching homes from the woods.

A 7-foot-tall entity built out of plant matter rather than flesh—green stalks, vines, and fibrous tissue. Known for telepathic communication and using thorned suction cups to draw blood. A one-time visitor who never returned.

A huge black dog, larger than any known breed, that patrols a fixed section of mountain pass at sunset. Impervious to gunfire and physical attacks, it appears to be a guardian spirit watching over its master's grave.

A half-man, half-fish entity surfacing from the brown water in brief, unnerving bursts. The upper body appears roughly human while the lower half flows into a powerful, scaled tail built for pushing against strong current.

An impossibly large owl, anywhere from the height of a large dog up to the size of a man in a feather coat, with a wingspan compared to a small airplane. Favors ambush-style observation and silent nocturnal hunting.
