In medieval European literature, a monstrous tribe of people with long necks like cranes.

For the first time in European literature, the crane man appears in the XIII century in The Roman Acts, a collection of short stories of an entertaining or even anecdotal nature, the plots of which were generously drawn later by such authors as Chaucer, Boccaccio, Shakespeare. The crane people in the Roman Acts are the inhabitants of Europe.

These are humans, but they have a crane's head, neck and beak.
