#epiphagi

[briefbestiary]

Blemmyae, the headless folk. They're pretty much just normal people outside of the fact that their faces are on the front of their torsos.

Headless men, also called blemmyes, antropophagos, akephaloi, epiphagi i ewaipanoma; bizarre humanoid creatures from world folklore (espiecially from antiquity and medieval periods). Although there are many different descriptions, all have a few common features: lack of head, face on their chest and extraordinary height (6-12 feet). According to other relations they have round mouths like horsehoe, faces on their back, and they are cannibals. In my version I decided to mix all earlier versions in one - huge, headless humanoids with crab-like mouths, thick fur (and long beads growing from their torso), simple ears between their shoulders and extra eyes on their back to recompense their lack of mobile head. Because of their primitive anatomy (mixing insect and ape) these creatures would be on the intelectual level of neanderthals or even lesser. Eventually they can be parts of greater insect-like hive, and every seen specimen can be just a worker or soldier.
