Kapre

Origin: Philippines

Type: Demon

Habitat: Trees

The Kapre is a 7 feet tall, hairy, bearded man-like creature that enjoys tobacco, and can be seen smoking a pipe or a cigar. They wear a loincloth and a magical belt that grants them the ability to become invisible to humans. They enjoys tricks, and like to confuse travelers so that they get lost in the woods.

The signs that a Kapre is nearby are rustling trees when the wind is still, loud laughter or a disembodied voice, or an abundance of fireflies.
