🏔️The Snow Wasset ❄️
The Snow Wasset this cryptid is a legless white fured creature that spends most of its life underground, only coming to the surface to eat.
It became a popular story with lumper jacks during the pioneer days.
This winter weather cryptid can be found mostly in Canada in the forest between the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay.
Though it dose travel for the seasons similar to birds flying south, the Wasset prefers to spend the summers in the far north where it hibernates during the warm summer season, during the winter its fur is white as snow but in the summer its hair turns green and it sometimes curls up in a cranberry marsh or some other cool place to sleep.
It will also grow small legs in the summer to help it slowly move along.
Once the weather starts getting cooler and the first strong snowstorm hits, it sheds its legs and starts moving south. It travels in the winter like a dolphin in the ocean, dipping in and out of the snow. It also uses this method to hunt the burrowing grouse, rabbits and other varmine hiding in the snow. Later in the winter, when food becomes scarce and more difficult to obtain, even wolves are on the menu.
The Wasset has a massive appetite, comparable to an angry wolverine, but at least four times as big and several times as active.
The only Wasset ever examined by non Indians was a mostly intact one seen by a group of surveyors in James Bay who happened to encountered an Indian in an odd looking canoe, the canoe was said to be made out of a stretched out Wasset hid. There we're no leg holes in the white pelt and it was long enough to make a one man canoe. Sleds are also made from its pelt.
Capturing a Wasset is tricky, because it's underground and you can never by quit sure which direction it's head is facing. You need a large amount of logs. Then you bait an area and set a tigger. The trigger is set so that a dozen or more logs fall in from all sides at once toward the bait, pinning the animal under the snow wherever he may be hiding.
In the 2015 horror themed remake of Fearsome Creatures, the Snow Wasset is a lot more furry and its head is more doglike.
The Snow Wasset is considered to be the second toughest fearsome creature after the Hodag, but despite its carnivorous diet, the Snow Wasset is not a threat to humans during the summer , but only in the summer time, in the winter its a different story and we are on the menu.
The Wasset's meat is edible and "safe " to eat( Not toxic or poison), even when raw. However, the Snow Wasset, is said to regenerate (comeback to life) even if it's just a skeleton so you may have one burrow out from your stomach if eaten.
. Its scientific name is Serpentoformus ferox.
🎇Happy ❄️New❄️Year🎆
