Variations: Hantu Punggong (Malay), Buttock Spirit
The Bès Dangon, “buttock spirit”, is a bès or spirit from the folklore of the Jah Hut people of Malaysia. It lives on the top of coconut trees, and the heat of its urine and stool eventually kills the trees. Anyone who tries to climb an inhabited tree is kicked back down.

Where did you get your copy of the book? I found a reasonable sale on AbeBooks but it doesn’t show any images from the actual book so I don’t know if it’s legitimate.
