Akaname

This humanoid creature creeps around on all fours, its face concealed by a mane of shaggy black hair. It looks up, revealing its froggishly wide jaws, from which protrudes a tongue the size of a human arm.

Although the sight of a red-skinned monster lovingly combing the surfaces of a privy with its tongue is a revolting sight, the creatures behind these sightings, the akaname, are fairly benevolent urban scavengers. They delight on feeding on refuse of all types and will slip into the dwellings of townspeople to pick over their leavings. Akanames have extremely sensitive senses of taste and can be quite choosy about what filth they decide to consume. They have a particular fondness for oozes of all types, which inadvertently saves communities with an akaname population from much grief.

Akanames dwell in the shadows of settlements, sleeping by day in sewers or abandoned buildings before emerging at night to feed. Their society is rudimentary and often reflective of a distorted version of the way its host society lives. They rarely use armor or weapons, preferring to protect themselves with their muscular, acidic tongues. Akanames rarely go out of their way to attack people, but will defend themselves violently if attacked.
