Mo-sin-a (Chinese: 魔神仔; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Mô͘-sîn-á) is a hairy dwarf like creature in Taiwanese folklore. The mo-sin-a are said to lure people away to remote spots like mountain forests or caves. Reports of "ape" sightings in Taiwan are likely to be misidentifications of the Formosan rock macaque (Macaca cyclopis), the island's only native, non-human primate. On October 7, 1973, at an elevation of 2,918 meters in Tianxiang, a mushroom farmer encountered the strange creature.
