Migoi is the term used for the Abominable Snowman in Bhutan. There it is to be found at an altitude of 3500-5000 meters. It has a hairless face and red/brown to black/gray hair. Migois are generally seen singly or in couples. The Migoi does not fear fire, it is herbivorous, it will attack humans but is also curious about them. Migois live in caves in which they build nests. The Migoi can make itself visible or invisible at will, it is said, because it has a magic charm called a dipshing which it keeps under its right arm. The dipshing, I can inform those on the lookout for one, resembles a twig. The Migoi is also called a gredpo.
