Kiokote

In the stories passed down among the Kimeti about creation, a frequent motif is that the Motherfather in the shape of a crane laid an egg which hatched many creatures which became the first Kimeti. Aside from the Kimeti there were four others: the Acha, the Totoma, the Zikwa, and the Kiokote.

In the stories the Kiokote are said to have left the swamp with the rest of the others. They left their sisters and brothers in favor of beautiful, flat grasslands where they could stretch their legs and do what they loved best: run.

Recently it has been revealed that the Kiokote legend is rooted in truth, as several strange-looking but entirely sentient creatures have appeared from the distant hills (presumably from the plains beyond) in search of their long lost siblings.
