Tyţemek

Creation
As with many inhabitants of the Pit, the story of the tyţemekâ starts with Wind. One day, Wind found a centipede crawling on his foot and was inspired to improve upon their design. He used dark magic to give the centipede an esca (the glowy dangly thing found on the anglerfish) and also the teeth of an anglerfish. Since centipedes cannot talk, Wind gave them human hands in hopes that they would invent a sort of sign language to aid in communication. Thunder was inspired to create a drawing of the creature. When the time came to show Wind's creation off, it was universally rejected. Bird described it as "rilymmun" -- maximally creepy. The tribe decided to throw the beast into the Pit of Bad Ideas since it would be rude to genocide them all. And so there they live. The only surviving firsthand account of the tythemek is shown to the right.

Description
As discussed in the previous section, tythemekah look like centipedes but have the esca and teeth of an anglerfish and the hands of a human. Little is known about their communication, lifestyle, culture, or anything else, since they have been cast into the Pit of Bad Ideas.

It is known, however that they are the prey of the rifnügacâ. It is supposed by some that, because of the similarity of the rifnügac to the flamingo that the tyţemekâ lay their eggs in underground lakes.
