A Fängge (plural Fänggen) is a wood sprite or a subtype of wild women in German folklore, found in German-speaking parts of the Alpine Region into more northerly non-Alpine parts of Bavaria (Upper Palatinate). The Fängge has been conceived of strictly as female, a hairy, ugly giantess (counterpart of the moss-grown male giant or wild man).
