The Argopelter is a fearsome critter said to inhabit hollow trees of the Conifer Woods from Maine to Oregon.[1]
From this vantage point the creature would await an unwary person and hurl wooden splinters and branches at the intruder.[2][3][1][4] Some have described the creature as being so quick that it has never been seen.[2] One description that does exist, allegedly made by a certain Big Ole Kittleson who survived an attack by the creature, has it that the creature has a "slender, wirly body, the villianous face of an ape, and arms like muscular whiplashes, with which it can snap off dead branches and hurl them through the air like shells from a six inch gun."[4] The argopelter subsides on wood peckers, hoot owls,[4] high holes, and dozy wood.[3] Its pups are born on February 29 and always arrive in odd numbers.[3]
