Field Report
Adam-Dzhapais is a wild-man cryptid from Central Asian folklore, often seen as a cousin of the Almasty or Yeti. Described as a large, hairy humanoid with deep-set eyes and a formidable presence, it reportedly lives in remote mountain ranges and avoids contact with humans. Tales from local herders claim it has been seen scavenging or observing humans from a distance. Soviet-era expeditions occasionally noted similar creatures, but no hard evidence has been gathered to support its existence.
