Amomongo

The Amomongo is a wild, gorilla-like primate from Philippine mythology. The creatrue supposedly attacks livestock to feast upon their entrails. Sightings of the creature in recent years have placed the Amomongo firmly into the cryptid category.

Yowie

The Yowie is the Australian name for a creature similar to the Asian Yeti or Bigfoot of North America. The name itself comes from an Aboriginal mythological character.

The Yowie is described as large, with reddish-brown hair, bipedal but walking in a stooped over, gorilla like stance. Sightings mostly occur in heavily forested regions of Australia's sparse outback.

Is the Yowie real? There is definitely enough unpopulated land that could support a population. However to date the evidence collected for the creature (eyewitness sightings, footprint casts of dubious origin, unidentified hair samples) fails to convince the larger scientific community.

Yeti

Stories of the Yeti (from Meh-Teh, "Man-Bear") go back centuries into the folklore of the Sherpa people of Tibet and Neapl. It is described as between 7-13 feet tall, covered with shaggy hair (usually of a dark color,) with a bipedal gait, and an odd, pointed head. The "Abominable Snowman" became famous in the west after western explorers discovered it's tracks while attempting to scale the Himalayas. Although many expiditions have been undertaken to caputre the creature, conclusive evidence of it's existence has remained elusive.

Sasquatch

Sasquatch is a large primate that dwells in the American Pacific northwest, where large amounts of undisturbed forest still remain. Reports of such a beast go back to Indian folktales and persist all through America's history. Sasquatch (otherwise known as Bigfoot,) is typically described as extremely tall (7 - 13 feet,) covered in shaggy hair of a brown-reddish color, walking upright, and combining many features between humans and apes. The nickname "Bigfoot" comes from the creature's unusually large foot size (up to 20 inches,) as footprints are usually the only remaining evidence after a sighting. Although there have been sporadic reports of people who have been attacked or even abducted by the creature, generally they tend to shy away from humans, and will leave the area quickly upon being sighted.

This would still not stop me from running if I were to encounter one.
