Wildfängl
A hairy and rough male Wildfängl lived in the mountain slopes of the Hintersteinertal and was hostile to the local folk, causing much mischief. They saw the Wildfängl and bribed him with gifts, and connived him into sticking his hand in a wedged split log, then made it snap shut.

“According to the lore of Hinterstein, Oberallgäu, Bavaria, a hairy and rough male Wildfängl lived in the mountain slopes of the Hintersteinertal and was hostile to the local folk, causing much mischief. The woodcutters were working at the local Erzstieg trail near Erzberg mountain, with the Erzbach stream nearby forming a ravine. They saw the Wildfängl and bribed him with gifts, and connived him into sticking his hand in a wedged split log, then made it snap shut.”
