Kapre

Kapre (from Spanish: cafre; Arabic: كافر‎, kāfir, "infidel") is a wild man or spirit figure in Philippine Tagalog folklore, associated with life in the forest, where it is reported to live in the trees. The kapre is closely associated with tobacco, being said to constantly smoke cigars or pipes, and is described as being "gigantic in size, being even larger than the tik-balan," and "perfectly black."[G]
