The Stiltwalker is a subject of creepypasta and urban legend, particularly around Texas. It resembles a spindly, bipedal creature with long legs and black fur. It stands between five and six metres tall.

Many online stories speak of encounters with Stiltwalkers in the forests of Texas, but it is impossible to say whether any are true. There are contradictory reports as to the nature of the Stiltwalker, with some claiming it is violent and evil, while others believe it to be a peaceful creature.
