Shug Monkey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shug monkey is a cryptid or mythical creature reported from Rendlesham Forest of Suffolk. Folklorists and investigators of the supernatural classify it as closely related to British hellhounds such as Barghest and Black Shuck, more distantly related to werewolves and the woodwose. Cryptozoologists classify it as either a cryptid canine or as a cousin of Bigfoot.
[edit] Description
It has features of a dog and monkey. The head and general body build resemble a humanoid more than a canine, but the feet are like a dog and allegedly leave gigantic dog tracks. The stance is usually quadrupedal. Sometimes it is supposed to fade away like a ghost or apparition.
