Bestiary: The u’Luma
The cry of an u’Luma portends a period of great depression followed by homicidal madness.
The cry of an u’Luma is only heard in dreams.
The cry of an u’Luma is often described as a circular and cavernous caw-caw caw-caw.
If one admits to being visited by an u’Luma they are lit aflame.
No dreamer visited by an u’Luma has ever seen an u’Luma, only heard the cry of an u’Luma.
Various u’Luma summoned in hallucinatory songs and tribal trances reveal an oversized black bird with colorful tail feathers and the face of an orb.
Because there is no cure, those that hear the cry of an u’Luma often kill themselves, although many choose to carry on, into the welcoming arms of a great depression followed by homicidal madness.

An esoteric theory proposes that the cry of an u’Luma is a creation of sound wave anarchists.
