Kapre: Kapre is a Philippine mythical creature that could be characterized as a tree giant.  It is described as being a tall (7 to 9 ft), big, black, hairy, muscular creature.  Kapres are normally described as having a strong smell that would attract human attention.  The term kapre comes from the Arabic "kafir", meaning a non-believer in Islam.  The early Arabs and the Moors used it to refer to the non-Muslim people.  The term was later brought to the Philippines by the Spanish who had previous contact with the Moors.  Some historians speculate that the legend was propagated by the Spanish to prevent Filipinos from assisting any escaped African slaves they sometimes imported from Latin-America.  The Kapre itself holds a large Cigar, an item which originated from the ancient Mayans of Latin-America.  The similar dark skin color of escaped African slaves from Latin America have caused the former to be equated with the latter.
