In the heart of the Northwoods near Rhinelander, Wisconsin, lucky visitors may come across a mysterious, mischievous beast known as the Hodag. This legendary creature has roamed the Northwoods for more than a century and has become the official symbol of Rhinelander (while pulling a few pranks along the way).
An ugly, stumpy critter with a spiked tail, the hodag features in Paul Bunyan stories and reportedly likes to eat bulldogs.
