Its name derived from Mansi (Ob-Ugric) the nickname for an individual, meaning “The Marked One” and referring to its white forearm. Mecheny is considered a species of[[Marked Hominids| Marked Hominids]], or bigfoot-like hominids said to inhabit subarctic regions of North America, Asia, Siberia and Europe that bear piebald patches of fur, or "markings." ==Description== It is 6–7 feet, and covered in 2-inch red-brown hair. It has a round head, with prominent browridges and glowing red eyes. It also has shorter hair that covers the face, including the ears and nose. It doesn't have a neck. Its shoulders are wide and muscular. It has a powerful, barrel-like chest. Its left forearm is white. It has enormous feet that are covered with hair. ==Behavior== It seen most frequently in August. Apparently follows a seasonal migratory path. It is said to knock on windows to announce its presence. Its also said to hate dogs. ==Sightings== Researcher Maya Bykova twice observed Mecheny outside a remote hunting cabin. She had traveled to the area after meeting a young Mansi man whose family had regularly encountered a large wildman near their hunting lodge since the 1940s. In the first encounter on August 16, 1987, Mecheny knocked on the cabin window at early dawn. Bykova and the family rushed outside and saw a figure more than 6 feet tall leaning against a dead tree. After about a minute of looking back at Bykova, Mecheny departed when the dog came out barking. In mid-October 1987, the dog disappeared and was found the next morning, its skull crushed and body ripped apart. Bykova’s second encounter took place outside the cabin on the night of August 22, 1988, when she and the Mansi hunter watched Mecheny for seventy-five minutes in the woods, where it was apparently looking for frogs or mice. The next morning, they found trampled grass and narrow trails where the creature had walked. Mecheny is similar to [[Old Yellow Top]], another Marked Hominid primarily seen in Ontario, Canada. {{CryptidsNavBox}} Templates used on the current version of this page: Template:CryptidsNavBox (view source) Template:Navigation (view source) Return to Mecheny.
