== History ==
=== Origins ===
The origins of the Hwethiz fid are unclear, but they emerged in the south-eastern parts of Savernia. The first sights describe that the White feet is one single creature who eats pine cones. Yet there are no pine trees located in south-eastern Savernia. As a result, it is often believed that the White feet did not originate from south-eastern Savernia, or perhaps the story of this creature did not originate in these localities, but was brought from outside. Some stories say that the White feet feeds itself from tree roots, yet most stories tell that the White feet only feeds itself from pine cones. The different physical appearances also bring lots of confusion because of how different they are, yet all seem to be living in the same region and have the exact same name. 
=== Physical appearance ===
The physical appearance of the White feet varies depending on the stories and the localities. The very first stories and sightings describe the White feet as a white creature that is as tall as the trees. It creeps very slowly, although slow, it is able to jump very high up in the sky to reach greater distances faster. Its skin is as white as snow, covered in mucus, and its whole body is covered in thousands of hands, including its lips, teeth, eyelids. It would solely feed itself with pine cone. It would not kill humans, but it would apparently trap them in the forest they got lost in, not allowing any animals to be near the human either, eventually the humans would starve to death. The second appearances are described as a very skinny and tall human, with thousands of arms and legs on their back, and thus are constantly facing the sky or pulling their heads backwards with their hands to look at their prey. This time there were known to be multiple of these monsters, and they were very aggressive and quick. They would only feed themselves from human flesh and nothing else. It is believed that they dug themselves out from under the Guarteca and Tamji ruins, and started roaming the depth of the jungles. There are many more stories who describe the creatures differently, but these are the two most common appearances.
Today, barely anyone seriously believes in the White feet, but it is used in day to day speech, whenever someone goes off to an adventure or goes in the forest, one might say "Biwys hwethitas trowtas meysth with hwethes fides" (A white tree is a white feet) or "Wulcanas nit hwethes trectes." (Don't follow white traces).
