I have also researched the name “Yarwen”, and your reference to D&D (Online, in this case) and World of Warcraft is not quite accurate. It’s actually a player’s name for his character(s) on those 2 online roleplaying games. Looking at the character profile of “Yarwen” on DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online), his location does not correspond with the originator of the term in question here, so I don’t think there’s any connection there. The other instance of “Yarwen” from World of Warcraft is also a player’s name, but the location can’t be determined. It could be the same person since some gamers play multiple games and have a tendency to use the same name for their characters.

I have noted a distinct “migration” of BF type creature from the Pacific Northwest, across the Western and Central plains, and NOW these creatures are turning up in Maine?! And this has been since the 1950’s!

Not one to cast this out at first sight, I would like to know just how this “migration” has transpired. Are these perhaps seperate species? Or are they different types within the same species, that are specific to the areas they are sighted in?

It just seems to be rather odd to have BF type animals “travel” from northern cal. in the 1950’s across the country, and in 40 some odd years start to be seen in areas here to fore never seen in the past.

Please help, I want to believe.

Loren, I agree with Naiabobiya, contact the police. People like that should NOT be near guns, and at the least, isn’t what he tried to do “extortion”?

You may also want to contact Animal Cops, because if the guy has this little Yarwen in a pen which doesn’t allow freedom of movement, there are gonna be animal cruelty charges.

I too will weigh in with my geek hat and say that while there are “yeti” in World of Warcraft (yeti with goat horns, but yeti in name, nonetheless), there are no critters I’ve encountered so far called yarwen that I can recollect. Of course my highest level character is only level 42, and since the game allows you to go to 60, there are plenty or areas and instances (dungeons) that I haven’t been able to explore.

But still, no yarwen that I am familiar with.

It does remind me, though, of the name ARWEN, as in Arwen Undomiel, Elrond’s daughter and Aragorn’s bride from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I tend to agree with the posters who feel this “Perez” character may have mixed up several different fantasy, sci-fi and crypto threads in his head.

Fair enough. I do that sometimes myself.

But then again, I don’t go claiming to have killed an 8.5 tall creature, buried it under some pine needles and kidnapped its off-spring.

Maybe someone should get Tom Biscardi to go check it out. He might be able to bring its hand back.

I was stationed in Maryland in the late 80s, and I have a friend who lives in New Hampshire whom I would visit on occasion.

It’s maybe five or six hours drive at the most, even minding the speed limit.

That’s going from Maryland, through Delaware, NJ, NYC, Mass., into NH. Kittery, ME. is about 1/2 hour from Manchester, NH, maybe less.

I’m not defending the person who claims to have a baby “whatever” — just trying to point out that the transportation aspect of his story is feasible, even if the overall story is bolonga.

Report this nut bag to the proper authorities. Let them handle this to determine if his story is legit. Anyone can claim anything and waste everyone’s valuable time. I’m selling the Brooklyn Bridge if anyone is interested.

“As mentioned in my initial posting, “Yarwen” is used in rare cases in conjunction with banter in the world of Dungeons and Dragons. There also may be a link to the popular World Of Warcraft online game.”

Um, I’m curious as to what source that’s from. I’m unfamiliar with any creature named “Yarwen” from either the Warcraft series or from DnD. Can anyone there cite a reference from one of the sourcebooks for this?

From what I’ve seen online, the closest match is maybe someone’s *character* named Yarwen in a DnD game, but in no way is that the same thing as a creature from any game system.

The reason that this fiction has generated so much interest amongst Cryptomundo readers is that the plot is so offensive to us. The clown revels in the fact that he grabbed a gun and “slew” the adult when most of us would have instead grabbed a camera. Oh and you gave it away with “slew” you pathetic loser.
