Nasnas

Nasnas is a Cryptid — a startlingly asymmetrical humanoid that moves as if one side of a body were missing; field notes record a lean, lopsided gait and an uncanny half-shadow that lingers at the edge of light. Smell: the air near a Nasnas carries the dry tang of dust and old iron with a faint trace of stale sweat. Sound: a scraping, uneven shuffle and a low, breathy rasp, sometimes punctuated by a thin, high keening. Temperature: it gives off a dry, sun-warmed heat, like stone left on a ledge, rather than the cold chill of a spirit. Observers describe it with clinical fascination and steady caution.
