description

Kafuka are small and meek bird-like humanoids that live all across the island-The polar opposite to the rowdy harpies. They claim a small copse of trees, which they call their domain, and it is here that they rule over the tiny woodland creatures that happen to wander through. Though the Kafuka often keep to themselves, if a creature were to disturb their domain, they're known to be quite cruel and unrelenting—Going as far as branding children as punishment.

The First of its Kind: The first of the Kafuka were said to once be children, who, at some point, were cursed by the island as punishment for their misdeeds. These stories still propagate on the island, but it's more common for people to believe them to be one of the many odd creatures that inhabit the woods.
