Species

Simityè are a huge species of animal, around the size of a moose. Their front arms are powerful, used for digging. They usually live underground only surfacing at night to tend to the graveyards they call home. Their territories are huge and encompass the graveyards. They tend dutifully to the bodies kept there and its believed this is because they are spiritual. Their eyes are sensitive to light and so they are never seen during the day. They rarely have been heard speaking but usually they only make loud growls, grunts, and roars due to their huge necks and throats. They are omnivorous in nature and opportunistic eaters. They have been known to assist people in digging graves for the dead and it is said if you harm a grave they will hunt you down and end your life, eating your body and leaving nothing behind. Legends also say they have secret shrines built of mysterious bones. These beings are friendly and harmless so long as you respect their graveyard territories. In fact if you are kind to the graves its believed these creatures will do kind things for you in return as thanks. Simityè are solitary creatures by nature but can have a mate and are said to mate for life.
