Machukuna

@Nayra warns that wanderers should be wary of remains they may find in caves and on mountainsides, as these could be sleeping machukuna, creatures made from bones. By day, they work the fields and fertilize the crops. Some believe this to be penance for the sins the machukuna committed in life, as through their efforts and labor they may regrow their flesh anew. Not necessarily dangerous, they may seek out humans willing to give them food. The main risk they pose is the wind that follows them, which is reputed to bring disease and bad luck.
