Many myths and legends surround these amphibious humanoids. Some say they came from the Underworld while others say they come from under the sea. While many names have been ascribed to their race, the more learned refer to them as the Ilcanthi - which means 'silent talkers' in the scholarly tongue. Their numbers are few but more often found in swampy areas. Some ilcanthi have been known to eat the brains of their victims for nourishment.
