Epponens

Epponens are a species of fictional creatures that appear in the fantasy novel "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. They are described as being semi-intelligent, ape-like beings that inhabit the Fae. Epponens are known for their agility and strength, and are often depicted as being territorial and aggressive. They are said to have a distinctive, high-pitched vocalization. In the context of the story, Epponens are often encountered by the protagonist, Kvothe, during his travels through the Fae, and are generally presented as a dangerous obstacle. Their exact nature and origins within the Fae are not fully explained, leaving them somewhat mysterious figures in the narrative. Their depiction serves to highlight the alien and often perilous nature of the Fae realm.
