The Yeren is the Chinese Wildman. According to Chinese folklore, it eats people. But here's the odd part: after grabbing people so they can't move, it faints with mirth. Yes, you heard right, it faints with mirth. Remarkably, the Yeren does not lose its hold on its victims when it faints. However! It will wake up eventually and then eat you. But! If you wear bamboo as your sleeves, you'll be able to slip out of them when the Yeren is in its swoon and then make your escape. Otherwise when it wakes up from its mirthful slumber, you will be eaten. Something to think about.
