Jag mort

In the mythology of Komi, a giant, as tall as a pine tree, looking like a wild beast, in clothes made of uncut bearskin. He stole cattle, women and children, and people were powerless against him.

Yag mort, translated from the Komi language means "forest man".

The legends about the forest man, the monster belong to ancient times, the times of the paganism of the Komi people. At that time, along the banks of the Pechora, Izhma and other northern rivers lived the Chud tribes (Chud), engaged in hunting and fishing, but did not yet know agriculture. And suddenly, in one of the villages, a giant began to appear, as tall as a young pine tree, "a man is not a man, a beast is not a beast," overgrown, like a wild beast, dressed in an uncut bearskin.
