Astomi[edit]

Physical Description[edit]

These hominoids are almost perfectly human, except for one small detail... They are missing a mouth!

History[edit]

These creatures where legends spotted long ago, now they stay low, hiding from the public and living low. They do not like to interact much with humans but do often do just to get a tasty snack. Because of this they have slightly altered themselves to better suit their new lifestyle, being in the dark below, hiding in the sewers and scaring off others stupid enough to enter.

Society[edit]

Currently Astomis live around little inhabited areas, abandoned houses, and sewers. They live in small groups of 5 or lower, to being alone. They won't protect where they live, instead once the place has gained some attentions with sayings that it is haunted they will move away to a new location all while blending in. They have a likely hood of teaming up with others for a while in one location but usually after that one location the Astomis will split ways.
