Legacy - Whisper

Description

Out of all the predatory beasts in the ancient past of Oora Juntia, the Whispers were unanimously the most feared of them all. Manuscripts abound with tales of these devilishly intelligent hunters, silent demons of pale eyes that craved Juntian flesh before any other. How they would hide behind every tree, every shadow, nook and cranny to steal away children and adult alike, without nary a trace

Officially, the Juntians hunted the Whispers to extinction as they did so many others, and in the modern world they are nothing but ancient history, bones and pelts on museums and bogeymen to frighten children in their beds-Still, fearful urban legends suggest Whispers never truly died off; that they just became smarter and better at hiding, relying on Juntian ignorance to continue their predations unseen.

Good ol’scaremongering, surely, but one can argue it accounts for the thousands of disappearances in Oora Juntia that go unresolved every year

I'm gonna guess that some of the stuff about these creatures was more old superstition than actual facts about them. Like the bit about them craving juntian flesh more than the flesh of creatures that would be easier to catch and kill. In truth, predators always prefer the easiest prey and sapient weapon using creatures are never the easiest prey.
Humans too have had a lot of misconceptions about creatures of our world too (many of which persist to this day), so it makes sense the juntians would as well.
