Ağac kişi, the 'tree-man', is the wildman of Azerbaijani forest and mountain belief, particularly of the wooded Talysh country around Lənkəran and the Caucasus ranges. He is imagined as a tall, hair-covered humanoid of enormous strength who dwells among trees and cliffs, ambushes solitary travellers, and wrestles or carries off those who trespass on his domain; regional tellings give him a sharp bony blade on the chest with which he wounds anyone he clasps. He stands within a broad Caucasian and Central Asian family of wildman figures such as the Almasty and the Biabanguli, and shades into the wilderness demon Qulyabanı in popular telling.
