Woodwose (English and medieval European folklore)
The Woodwose is a wild, hairy, giant-like man of the forest, often depicted as larger than a human. In British folklore, they’re typically gentle unless provoked, living in harmony with nature and occasionally helping humans.
Their massive, hairy appearance and forest-dwelling nature resemble trolls, but they’re more likely to be peaceful or reclusive.
In some stories, Woodwose guide lost children or share knowledge of the forest with hermits.
I love nature and wandering through forests and over moors and when I do I always envision the mythical creatures, entities and peoples that might inhabit the landscape. Living on the edge of Dartmoor I am fortunate to have access to such a rich source of inspiration.
