A Bauk is the name of a dangerous nocturnal creature from Serbian legend. It's a man-eater and tends to hide among bushes and gives people surprise attacks. Described as large with black fur, often bipedal and with very sharp teeth. It's got a very clumsy gait while walking on hind legs.
Many claim the Bauk is probably just a regular bear. While that might be the case, the Bauk has a number of differences from bears. It makes eerie noises that doesn't sound at all like a bear. Another strange feature is its tendency to scrape its claws along wood. It also behaves like a vampire. The Bauk hates any form of light, while sunlight would destroy the creature.
The Bauk hides specifically in shadows and darkness, as it prefers woods, graves and even ruined buildings. It waits for people and then makes a sudden grab for them but if they shone a light at it, they could make their escape. Whatever this thing is, whether a night dwelling monster or a bear, it's certainly scary and would put anyone off travelling through the country after dark.
