Lore
-“It is also able to create a wide variety of sounds, including mimicking human speech. The leucrocotta is known to listen for the name of a victim, then call that person into the night. It retreats into cover, usually the forest, until there is no chance that the victim will be able to call for help or run away, and only then kills its prey.”(thebestiaryproject.wordpress.com
