WEEWILLMEHQ

It is difficult to describe this creature as it is a shapeshifter.  It figures in Native American lore, in the legends of the Wabanaki and Micmac.  It is distinguished by having two horns, one red and one yellow.  The head is said to be huge and the eyes fearsome.

The likelihood of itts being based on a genuine beast seems remote, but it may be a distorted form of some other creature, perhaps something extinct.
