Any stories on this creature?

Come with me through the doors
Of a Bayou barroom
There's a place God's angels don't go
Satans wolves all loom large
Over creatures only mad men know
Its Louisiana guard dog's nightmare
Cajuns don't say his name
But they say looks just like a rabid dog
And he walks upright like a man
Loup Garou Bal Goula
Loup Garou Bal Garou
Du bon temps danse pres du
Feu ... ce soir
Black snake swim through the water
See spanish moss gently sway
Moon hangs yellow like a big gold coin
In the distance you can hear them sing
Shhh! See them playing on a big bass drum
It's made out of coon skin hide
Shhh, Shhh! See them shaking rattles fullof human teeth
Shaking them out of time
Sing child
Loup Garou Bal Goula
Du bon temps danse pres du
Feu ... ce soir (repeat)

One of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files books is on the Loup Garou. Not sure of the legend myself, but it's a real badass mf'er in the book.

i dont think its a mispronunciation so much as a change in the original french term to a different word over time by Canadian settlers.

Originated in French Canada so it's either gay or fake.

yes, it is a mispronunciation. the fact that they've been doing it over a long period of time doesn't change anything. "Loup" means wolf in french. "Rou" doesn't mean anything.

Jeopardy had it as a clue recently. I had never heard it before.

That Willy Deville Youtube clip is the bomb. The people of Berlin were very appreciative!

That Twighlighty movie Blood and Chocolate was about the Loups-Garoux. So, like the other guy said, gay.
