Wild men of the woods

European and Scottish woodlands

Source of food:
Assumed to be omnivore

Height:
Average human adult height to seven feet tall

Description:
Similar to the Greenmen who are covered in leaves, these men are covered in hair or fur and wear no clothes. They have been compared to the Sasquatch of North America but are considered more human-like, unlike the Sasquatch which is ape-like.
These men live within thick woodlands and protect the wild forests they inhabit. They also have been called upon as “Wooser”, “Ooser”, or “Wild Men of the Woods”. In medieval times, their features were used on masks. There are also carvings of the Woodwose in churches in East Anglia. These entities were featured in many literary pieces dating from the Sixteenth and Seventeenth century. Very little is known about them.
