The simiot is a creature in Catalan Pyrenean mythology that terrorized a village in the Vallespir region according to a medieval legend. There is limited scholarly research on these beings, but some propose that they are remnants of an ancient religion.
The simiot is a creature in the Catalan Pyrenean mythology. The term can be translated as ???a kind of ape??? or ???similar to an ape???. According to a medieval legend, around the tenth century, these wild beasts terrorized Arles, a Catalan village in the Vallespir region. Up until now, the number of scholarly studies dealing in depth with these beings is very small. Books and papers by several twentieth-century folklorists, such as Joan Amades, have not contributed to clarifying their origin. By and large, authors propose that simiots are remnants of an ancient and pagan religion, perhaps linked to canid cults or forest deities. However, considering their probable etymology, their origin can be traced to the thirteenth-fourteenth centuries.
