The Adne Sadeh was described as a wild humanoid beast living high up in local Jewish mountain ranges.
Resembling a human being, the Adne Sadeh's life is maintained by a cord which connects its navel to the earth.
Even though the Adne Sadeh normally feeds on local fruits and vegetables, travelers are warned about entering areas where its cord can reach, as the creature could seize the opportunity for fresh meat.
[6] In some sources, the adne ha-sadeh are seen as human-like beings whom God created before Adam and were later wiped into extinction by the deluge of old.
[11] According to Ze'ev Safrai, the Mishnah may have in mind an ape or a tribe of wild uncultured human beings.
