Description
The rougarou, a werewolf creature of Cajun folklore, emerges from the mists of the swamp. This American cryptid wades through waters and under Spanish moss in the bayous of Louisiana.
The rougarou is thought to be derived from the loup-garou, which is simply the French term for a werewolf.ย The belief in these beasts was likely brought over to the New World with French settlers and is particularly associated with Catholicism:ย The monster is said to prey on those who fail to follow the rules of Lent, and even are created when someone breaks those same rules seven years in a row.
This is my second image featuring this particular cryptid. I guess I just like swamp settings.
Enjoy,
