The Gugwe is a cryptid that is said to be one of the North American Bigfoots. It is also called a Bearman because it is the only hairy bipedal ape man with a snout. Gugwes are known to be very aggressive and have a protruding snout like a baboon. Not much is known about this type other than they are reported to be carnivorous and kill anything in their path. Native Americans never say anything good about the Gugwe. According to the Mi’kmaq tribe, the Gugwe is a hideous woman-like beast. Belief of the Mi’kmaq says it is a “fearful monster as tall as a ship’s mast” while other tales, which tend to go more into greater detail describe them as Baboon or Mandril-faced varieties of Sasquatch. One of the most well-known sightings of the Gugwe is documented in Elliot Merrick’s book “True North” written in 1933. According to the book, a young girl was playing in an open field near her parents’ cabin when she saw a seven-foot-tall ape-like creature emerge from the tree line. The creature had a protruding snout like a baboon and was covered in hair. The girl’s sighting is one of the earliest documented cases of the Gugwe.
