Urayuli

Encyclopedia : U : UR : URA : Urayuli


Urayuli, or "Hairy Men", are a mythical race of creatures that live in the woodland areas of Southwestern Alaska. Stories of the Urayuli describe them as standing 10 feet tall with long shaggy fur and luminescent eyes. They can be heard emitting a high pitch cry, almost like a loons. Their long, lanky arms reach down to their ankles.

Living in the forests near the area of Lake Iliamna, the Urayuli are known to be peaceful, unlike the Kushtaka of Southestern Alaska.

It is said the the Urayuli are transformed children who become lost in the woods at night. It is possible that this tale was started to keep children indoors at night.
