Koohii stories:

1) [Kurisu] 28-1-2008(586): They all say they have a TREE between their WALKING LEGS but most only have a TWIG.

2) [rtkrtk] 8-11-2007(103): Don't confuse with branch or bough - think of snapping twigs. A twig is always the kind of wood that snaps when the hunter's walking legs just barely touch it, making a snapping sound that alerts the prey to the hunter's presence.

3) [noname] 11-6-2008(50): I don't believe this means twig as in a tree twig. 条 【じょう】 (n) (1) article (in document); provision; (2) stripe; streak; line. STORY: If TREES had WALKING LEGS they would march right up to congress and demand they put in a new ARTICLE into the constitution against deforestation.

4) [tharvey] 13-11-2009(24): (Doesn't mean twig!) I read an article in the Weekly World News about a walking tree.

5) [wasurenaide] 8-5-2007(14): I once read an ARTICLE about a guy who shoved a TREE between his WALKING LEGS. he was pulling out TWIGs for a long time.
