The Maricoxi is a general term for a large apelike creature that has been reported in many parts of the jungle regions of South America. These may be a cryptids or merely an undiscovered tribe.
Percy Fawcett reported encountering a group of them in 1914. They were extremely hairy, lived in villages and used bows and arrows. They spoke in grunts and lived to the northeast of a tribe called the Maxubi [1].
