Tsul'Kalu



Tsul'kalu is a highly intelligent bigfoot-like or dogman-like bipedal cryptid. He's called the Great Hunter and has honor and respect for the hunt. Tsul'kalu uses an artifact made of the bones of the thunderbird to focus his powers. Tsul 'kalu must have somehow came across one in his hunting periods. Tsul'kalu is also the eighth Beast of the Fifth Sun. It is revealed in the episode The Return Of Tsul'Kalu that Doc's blind eye was caused by a fight with Tsul'Kalu. Doc won and Tsul Kalu gave him the hand as a prize of respect. It turns out that younger Zak had destroyed the Judaculla stone in an accidental rockslide. He tracks the Saturdays, until one night he stops Doc in the HQ. They decide not to disturb Zak, so they go to the roof to solve some issues. Later on, he comes back for his 'hand', to get it out of "Kur's" grasp. It all ends when Zak and him fight. During the fight, Zak gets flashes of Tsul Kalu's worst fears; Kur destroying the world. Zak wins and Tsul' Kalu lets him keep it, seeing that he can respect Zak. Zak says that he can keep it, but Tsul Kalu gives it back as a sign of trust. He becomes the Saturdays' ally.

He seems to have prior technical knowledge of human hunting devices. He is sported with a crossbow, blowdart, tomahawk, and a flute-like object that can produce sonic waves. He is also more associated with humans than cryptids.

In War of the Cryptids, he appears again as Zak's ally, fighting mostly Munya. He seemingly kills Munya in the end with his ax.

Legend
According to legend a widow wanted her daughter to marry a hunter. One night someone gave the daughter's mother food. When the mother told her daughter to ask for wood that night before she asked he gave them uprooted trees. Her mother was furious. Next time he came he gave her nothing. The daughter at some point married him. One day the mother wanted to see him since he always left before morning. He promised to show himself if the mother promised not to say he was terrifying. The mother saw him (Tsul 'Kalu) and he was very mis-shaped. He promised never to show himself to the daughter's mother again and went to a different town. Several months later, the girl gives birth, and Tsul Kalu comes back to convince the girl to come back to the village with him. She tells her mom she's leaving, and never comes back.
