⚠️ Danger: 5.5

The Abnauayu is a wild humanoid said to inhabit the remote forests of Abkhazia. Often compared to the Almas, it is considered a relict hominin or undiscovered primate. Descriptions portray a hairy biped with a sloped forehead and no language ability. Villagers have reported brief encounters, typically at night or during harsh weather. Some accounts suggest family groups exist in the wilderness. Soviet-era scientists documented local beliefs and anecdotal sightings. No physical evidence or photographic proof has emerged. The creature remains a regional cryptid with limited exposure outside Eurasian folklore.
