Regarding its appearance, the rougarou looks like a being with the body of a man and the head of a wolf. They say that it roams the woods and fields looking for its prey in the dark of night, that its eyes are red and bloodshot, that it can run on its feet although it tends to prowl stalking on all fours, stopping and sniffing left and right. in a predatory attitude; and above all, they say that he is thirsty for blood.
