  • Les kapres sont des esprits des arbres vivant aux Philippines. Ils ne sont pourtant pas apparentés aux dryades, car ils n'hésitent pas à abattre des arbres pour nuire aux humains. D'apparence masculine, ils sont longiformes et vivent nus. Ils élisent généralement domicile dans les arbres les plus hauts (mangrove, santol, balete), où ils apprécient le doux fumet d'une pipe ou d'un cigare. La nuit, ils descendent de leur arbre pour rôder. Il leur arrive d'approcher les humains, dans le but de les empêcher de pêcher. (fr)
  • O kapre (relacionado à Agta no dialeto ) é uma criatura mítica filipina que poderia ser caracterizada como um demônio-árvore, mas com mais características humanas. É descrito como sendo um homem cabeludo, pardo, alto (7 a 9 pés), com uma barba. Kapres são descritos normalmente como fumando um grande cachimbo de tabaco, cujo cheiro forte atrairia a atenção humana. O termo kapre vem do árabe "kaffir", significando um não-crente no Islã. Os árabes primitivos e os mouros o usavam para se referir aos dravidianos não-muçulmanos que tinham pele escura. O termo foi mais tarde trazido para as Filipinas pelos espanhóis que tiveram contato anterior com os mouros. Alguns historiadores especulam que a lenda foi propagada pelos espanhóis para prevenir os filipinos de auxiliar qualquer escravo africano f (pt)
