No accepted taxonomy

Note: The following creature is based, in large part, on the descriptions of a being seen over the summer of 1977 in Massachusetts, USA, the “Dover Demon,” and subsequent investigations.

The gahonga is a small, thin, humanoid creature that dwells “between the rocks in the rapids.” In coloration the creature is peach-colored, while its head (truly gigantic in comparison with its diminutive size) possesses only two orange- or green- glowing eyes. No sensory organs are visible. The long, spindly limbs terminate in elongated, flexible digits that can be molded around the rocks and trees found in the gahonga’s home territory. Oftentimes, the gahonga is described as baby-like. It is unknown (but widely believed to be true) that the gahonga is analogous with the creature called a mannegishi, that inhabits the northern UCAS and Canadian indian lands.
