Momo is the name of an alleged cryptid similar to the legendary Bigfoot that lives in Missouri. The name Momo is short for 'Missouri Monster.' First reported in 1971 near Louisiana, Missouri, Momo has been spotted up and down the Mississippi River. He is supposedly a large, hairy, manlike creature that eats dogs and emits a terrible odor. Like the more famous Bigfoot, there has never been any conclusive proof to Momo's existence.
