Bunyir

  You may think our beliefs foolish, but I promise you that the bunyir are more than real! They prey on our women and children, for their tender flesh. They live below an island, where they chew on the flesh of our children and wives! 

-Inhabitant of the Isles of Bunyairon, near the coast of Mérindar

Bunyir are large seals that live in the sea near the Isles of Bunyairon. The local population believe that they are cursed men, and that they live under a small island. This is not true, though the locals fiercely cling to this belief.

The other half of their folklore is true, however. The bunyir prey on women and children, for they enjoy their tender meat more than the chewy meat of men or old people.

Bunyirs hunt in small groups of four to ten, and these groups are referred to as Bunyirri. A bunyir can reach a length of two meters, and they have two giant tusks used as a weapon in their hunts. They have rows of small teeth perfect for tearing apart the flesh of young women and children.

A method of killing a bunyir is to find a way to feed it a shank of any type of animal ( most preferably a cow ). The meat is too tough for a bunyir, which makes them choke on it. This is the reason fisherman from the Isles or Mérindar always carry a piece of cow shank with them, for if a bunyir decides to attack.
