The Almas are reclusive ape-like humanoids, often described as more primitive than modern humans. Their legends are deeply embedded in Mongolian and Russian folklore. Unlike Sasquatch, the Almas are seen as closer to Neanderthals, with some theories proposing they are surviving archaic hominins. Many alleged sightings come from shepherds and villagers in the remote regions of the Caucasus. Despite searches by Soviet scientists and cryptozoologists, no remains have been discovered. Reports describe family groups and rudimentary tool use. The Almas are generally non-aggressive and avoid humans. Their consistency across cultures gives them weight in cryptid circles.
