Abnauayu

A creature from Abkhazian mythology that lives in the forest. The literal translation is "forest man".

This is a huge furry humanoid monster with a steel protrusion sticking out of its chest (in some sources, an axe), characterized by extraordinary physical strength and rage. He has huge claws, and his eyes and nose are like ordinary people. It is believed that it is able to talk.

It lives in dense forests (there was a belief that one lives in each forest gorge).

Abnauayu knows in advance the name of the hunter or shepherd he will meet. He can kill a person by clutching the victim to his chest. with his protrusion, he cuts it in half.
