In American folklore, the hugag is a fearsome critter similar to a moose with an extensive upper lip, preventing it from grazing, and jointless legs preventing it from lying down.

Arose from people misinterpreting unguligrade/digitigrade animals as having no knees, then people pointed out they do, so some guy was like but what if they didn’t?? Dunno where the lips came from, maybe just a parallel of not being able to eat normally to go along with not being able to walk normally
being an American I was low key worried the lip thing was something racist
