Can I get a good description and or drawing of a Swoopeda from the resident experts?

Also, what's the difference between a Rougarou and Swoopeda?

What's the difference in a Swoopeda and a trash bag?

One is made of plastic and is harmful to children. The other is used for waste and refuse.

If you have to ask, you can't handle it.

Rougarou is inaccurate, it's twisted from the term "Loup Garou" (prn: Loo-GaRoo) which is french for werewolf. I've never heard of Swoopeda.

Yeah, I knew that Rougarou came from loupgarou.

Just arguing with a friend over Swoopeda, would like secondary clarification.

So, to verbalized your awesome photos, a Swoopeda is more of a Cat type monster.

And a Rougarou is more werewolfish.

Agree/disagree?

Man that's scary. Keep your dog within sight while hunting. Guy from Monroe lost his dog to something last year. He was walking back to his truck after blood trailing a deer and heard the dog yelp. Thought he saw something scurry up the hill but couldn't get positive ID on what it was. I'm convinced it was a swoopeda cause a tote couldn't kill that fast.

I describe it as a rabid squirrel mixed with a fierce mountain lion off spring that then bred a chicacabra.

Outcome is swoopeda

With a hint of LA Black Bear...

Will do.

I had a feeling once that something was following me and when I turned around I just saw a blur of something moving very quickly across the ground,it jumped and cleared a tree top and vanished. May very well could have been swoopeda.

The swoopeda resembles a big cat, like a panther if you will. You can distinguish the two because the swoopeda carries its tail with a half curl while the panther carries its tail at a full curl. The swoopeda also does not like to get its feet wet, so if you are in an area that typically floods or holds water the swoopeda will be leapin trying to stay dry.
