An important aspect of the Grenadian culture is the tradition of story telling, with folk tales bearing both African and French influences. The character, ''Anancy'', a spider who is a trickster, originated in West Africa and is prevalent on other islands as well. French influence can be seen in ''La Diablesse'', a well-dressed she-devil, and ''Loogaroo'' (from "loup-garou"), a werewolf.
