The Man With Many Hands

There is a tale of a being that lurks in the forests where the Islemar seems to not grow where a creature who is not Urskr, Ellavarian, or even a Kav. This Creature preys on the naughty children regardless of race. The creature has been defined to have somewhat male features in his height and within his face, if you are ever unlucky to see such a thing. The most unmortal and terrifying thing that this creature has is that on each of his hands there are many mismatched hands sewn to his own, of the children that have been particularly ungrateful and selfish. This creature will collect the child's hand on the first offense of the child being naughty. After that, every other offense that the child will either lose another hand, an arm, or a foot. With each hand he puts on his own well adorned hand and with each arm he adds a link to his already miles long arm chain that he uses for the capture of the naughty children. But the feet are what the creature is most fond of. For you see, he likes to take the toes of each and every foot and makes them into various necklaces. Necklaces that he wears as well as using them around his home as decorative garland.   So if you have ever disobeyed your mother, father, or an elder. Or showed selfishness and gluttonous ways to your siblings and younger relatives be aware that when you go to sleep at night. For when you hear a thunking against your window it is not just a mere tree branch, but it is the infinite hands of the Creature helping him add another hand to his ever growing collection. Unless you are a repeat offender, where he has returned to collect an arm or maybe even your toes!
