Lore

The Agropelter is a mischievous and dangerous lumberjack critter from American tall tales, an arboreal ape that pelts loggers with branches, knots, or limbs from treetops. Its precise throws cause injuries or death, explaining unexplained accidents in dense forests and adding to the pantheon of woodland hazards in logging folklore.
