The term booger is used as a local name in the United States for a large variety of cryptids including hairy bipeds, devil monkeys, North American apes, eastern pumas, and alien big dogs.[1] Specific cryptids with the term in their names include booger bears, booger owls, booger dogs, and booger men. The term originally meant "ghost" or "haunt", but by the 1960s it also meant "monster" or simply "animal" in the southern United States.[1]
