This characteristic allowed for the hot, dry sand of the desert to dehydrate the bodies, leading to natural mummification.

## Etymology

**Mu shuvuu** (ムー・シュウウ, *Mū shuuu*?, harmful bird) is a mythological bird in Turkic mythology and Tengrism They would look like young girls but have a sharp beak, which they try to cover either in a veil or with their hands. With their beaks, they would try to suck out the blood of the bodies of their victims. They were especially dangerous to travellers or lonely hunters. Mu shuvuu is believed to be usually created when a girl dies young or by violent death. The girl's soul would turn into a mu shuvuu then. When a father hides a flint in his deceased daughters hand, however, he would turn her soul into one as well.

Haggis

**Haggis** (ハギース, *Hagīsu*?) are creature.

## Overview

Haggis is an animal that lives in the highlands.

## Culture

The meat of this haggis isn't delicious to say the least. It is said that anyone who eats this haggis cannot be trusted.

## Physical Attributes

Haggis has a beak and is covered with hair and looks like a round platypus. They have three long legs and move quickly, making them difficult to catch.

## History

The meat of the haggis is served at banquets simply because it is so rare. Kuroki thought it wasn't tasty.

## Etymology

**Wild haggis** (野生のハギス, *Yasei no hagis*?) is a fictional creature of Scottish folklore, said to be native to the Scottish Highlands. It is comically claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep (including heart, lungs, and liver).

According to some sources, the wild haggis's left and right legs are of different lengths (cf. Sidehill gouger or Dahu), allowing it to run quickly around the steep mountains and hillsides which make up its natural habitat, but only in one direction. It is further claimed that there are two varieties of haggis, one with longer left legs and the other with longer right legs. The former variety can run clockwise around a mountain (as seen from above) while the latter can run anticlockwise. The two varieties coexist peacefully but are unable to interbreed in the wild because in order for the male of one variety to mate with a female of the other, he must turn to face in the same direction as his intended mate, causing him to lose his balance before he can mount her. As a result of this difficulty, differences in leg length among the haggis population are accentuated.
