Shurale is described as a human-like creature with a body completely covered by fur and a horn growing from the middle of his forehead. He has has long, bony pointy fingers with which he likes to tickle humans who are unlucky enough to have lost their way in the middle of the black forest (kara urman).
Shurale patiently waits behind the trees for his victims. Once the abominable forest creature catches them, he usually tickles them to death.
