Description

Akaname, or filth lickers, are grimy little creatures with red skin which is often covered in puss filled lumps, they have thick matted hair and a single beady eye. Akaname lick and consume dirt, mold, and other refuse. While not particularly dangerous, relying on their barbed tongue to deal damage, they are very agile creatures who can climb walls like insects. They are adept at hunting at night and exude a foul slime, which can nauseate even the most resistant individual. They especially enjoy spitting globs of this mucus at their enemies which burst into a rain of filth. Notably, Akaname are nocturnal creatures and are blinded by bright light.
