Adne Sadeh


The Adne Sadeh is a legendary monster mentioned in Jewish folklore.

Overview

Looking at the legend, it becomes noticeable that the Adne Sadeh appears as a humanoid wild beast living high up in local Jewish mountain ranges. It is said the Adne Sadeh's life is maintained by a cord which connects his navel to the earth. If this cord is cut, the creature will die. Even though the Adne Sadeh normally feeds off what the soil surrounding him yields, travelers are warned about entering areas where his cord can reach, as the creature could attack.
Sometimes in the stories, the adne ha-sadeh are seen as men-like beings whom God created before Adam and were later wiped into extinction by the deluge of old.
