Legends past speak of these creatures as horrific half-human monstrosities that feast on the livers of humanoids; first beguiling their prey with a gentle face, charming their victim to sleep, and then consuming the livers of the unlucky soul.

Cold-spirited and foul-hearted, the kukilaluit is the natural enemy of most creatures that inhabit forests. Many fey, in fact, consider a kukilaluit a dire enemy and do anything in their power to rid the forest of such an evil. For this reason, kukilaluits have developed methods of protecting themselves from their sylvan enemies.

Largely territorial creatures, kukilaluits attempt to drive other predatory creatures out of their surroundings. Since they prey largely on humanoids, a kukilaluit will stake a claim on forest-lands surrounding areas hosting the appropriate prey, even if that area is largely cleared out. Kukilauits dislike exiting the forest, however, since the covering the trees provides them much of their natural protection.

Kukilaluits are infrequently serviced to more powerful forest creatures, most often against their will. Most types of hags, in particular, enjoy using the naturally stealthy creatures for surveillance and espionage against nearby villages. Black and green dragons might also employ a kukilaluit for information.

A kukilaluit speaks and understands Sylvan. A kukilaluit understands, but does not speak, Common. Kukilaluits enslaved to a stronger creature often learn that creature's language, although they rarely will speak it.
