The Jersey Devil

The Jersey Devil is a creature or race of creatures that dwell deep within the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The beast has been spotted on several occasions for the better part of two hundred years and while the last few decades have been quiet, residents of the Pine Barrens don't believe for a minute that the strange beast that haunts their woods is long done. 
== Origin Story: ==
The folk myth is that the Jersey Devil is the horrifically deformed child of one Mary Lee who, upon conceiving her thirteenth child, proclaimed that she hoped it would be a devil. As the story goes, following the child's birth, it's body underwent a horrific transformation and flew up the chimney and away into the woods.
Adepts don't buy it, of course, but some believe the story is rooted in truth. The Jersey Devil could have its origins in some type of Infernal practice or dark pact. 
== Facts: ==
-The Jersey Devil is an illusive creature. So much so that some Adepts believe it may possess supernatural abilities that allow it to remain undetected. 
-The Jersey Devil has the power of flight. It appeared in Trenton, Pennsylvania, during the 20th century and was shot repeatedly by police but simply flew away. Either the police missed or the beast is capable of taking multiple gunshots without suffering debilitation. 
-The Jersey Devil has been known to harass citizens in and around the Pine Barrens, especially at night time.
-Stories of the Jersey Devil being an actual devil are, as yet, unfounded. Although there are some Adepts who have had encounters with the beast who claim it has a resistance to Infernal powers or dark magick. Creationists who have studied it swear the Devil is not itself an Infernal.
