Rougarou



The Rougarou is a werewolf creature found in many parts of north America and in France. In the Laurentian French region of Quebec is the tradition of rougarou. It looks like the body of a man but the head of a wolf, with red bloodshot eyes. It can run on two feet and crawl on all fours. It searches the countryside, especially the woods and swamps of Greater New Orleans, looking for prey. Although not much different to the traditional werewolf, the rougarou likes drinking blood! Stories are more common in Louisiana about this creature. The rougarou is said to be active any night, not just at the full moon. Some believe that the rougarou is responsible for the cattle mutilations where blood has been completely drained. This also is where the legend of the cryptid chupucabra enters, as those are believed to be responsible also for dead animals found without blood. Despite the creepiness of the monster, there is a fun Rougarou Festival which is annual, exciting and based on the scary rougarou legend, based in the bayou of Southeast Louisiana.
