Papa Bois:

Otherwise known as "Maître Bois," meaning master of the woods or "Daddy Bouchon" meaning hairy man), a French patois word for "father wood" or "father of the forest" is a popular fictional folklore character of Trinidad and Tobago.

He is also known to have the power of metamorphosis and is commonly thought to transform himself into a deer, luring hunters deep into the forest and getting them lost. Much like his female counterpart, Mama Dlo, he dislikes when people kill for the sake of killing, rather than to eat the meat or use the hide of the animal.
