==Also Called==
* Yateveo Mimicry
==Capabilities==
Users of this ability can either take on the traits of a Yateveo or are one, a Yateveo is a classic example of folklore hoax (sometimes known as "fakelore") and was based on tales of man-eating plants from across the world - though the specific Yateveo myth is often associated with Africa, like most "fakelore" creatures the Yateveo was a modern invention and weaved into far older folklore to give it a greater sense of mystery and weight.
A Yateveo was envisioned as a man-eating tree or bush with many tentacle-like limbs by which it would grab nearby humans or animals, dragging them to a grisly death via constriction - the monster would proceed to devour the victim and some Yateveo were regarded as gods by tribes-people, who would sacrifice people to the creatures, perhaps in an effort to appease them.
While based on real carnivorous plants and folkloric figures the Yateveo was later revealed to be a hoax-creature, this puts it in a similar position to creatures such as Dropbears, Haggis and "Tall Tales" style cryptids.
