Le Loyon

Le Loyon is a mythical creature said to inhabit the forests of the Jura mountains, particularly in the Swiss canton of Jura. According to local folklore, Le Loyon is a shy and solitary being, often described as having features of both humans and animals, though specific descriptions vary widely. Some accounts portray it as a large, hairy hominid, while others depict it with characteristics such as hooves or horns.

Sightings of Le Loyon are rare, and its existence is largely attributed to legend and local storytelling. It is often described as a peaceful creature, avoiding contact with humans. Stories of Le Loyon serve as a reminder of the wildness and mystery of the Jura forests, and are often used to explain unexplained sounds or occurrences in the woods. While no scientific evidence supports the existence of Le Loyon, it remains a significant part of the cultural heritage of the Jura region.
