When I was young, somehow my whole family acquired green t-shirts with "Hodag" on them, and a picture of the beast. We had no idea what on earth a Hodag was. We were still Chicagoans at the time... can I mention that here?
The picture on the shirt looked almost like an alligator body, but with bigger claws and spikes down the back. The face had a pig-like nose, menacing eyes and large horns. It almost reminds me of a Chinese dragon with a shorter body.
Roadside America has a nice photo of a Hodag statue. Wouldn't want to meet that thing in the dark woods!
