Dismal Sauger/Sauger

The Dismal Sauger is a creature from Lumberjack Folklore. They live in forest swamps and often have scummy water dripping from their cypress hair. They are silent by nature but can be heard by the water constantly dripping from their beards. The sound of this dripping can make a person go insane. They are thought to be related to the Happy Auger.
