Mjän

Mjän is a fictional creature that appears in the folklore of the K'tharr people, an indigenous group from the disputed region of Xylos. Descriptions of Mjän vary, but they are generally depicted as small, bipedal beings with large, luminous eyes and a slender build. Their skin is often described as being a mottled grey or brown, allowing them to blend seamlessly into their forest environment.

According to K'tharr legends, Mjän are shy and elusive, rarely seen by outsiders. They are believed to be nocturnal, emerging from their hidden dwellings at dusk to forage for roots, berries, and small insects. While not inherently malicious, Mjän are said to be fiercely protective of their territory and will use their agility and knowledge of the forest to evade or deter intruders. Some tales attribute a rudimentary form of communication to Mjän, involving soft whistles and rustling sounds that mimic natural forest noises.

The significance of Mjän within K'tharr culture is multifaceted. They are often seen as guardians of the ancient forests and symbols of the wild and untamed aspects of nature. Some elders believe that encountering a Mjän is a sign of good fortune, while others warn against disturbing their habitats, lest they bring about unforeseen consequences. While there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of Mjän, they remain a cherished part of the K'tharr oral tradition.
