Cannibals are a small faction of humans who hunt other humans. This behavior is reflected in their starting reputation, which is unusually low even for a hostile faction.

Legendary members of this faction use blood in place of fresh water in the Water Ritual, and can teach the Butchery skill to folks they like enough to not eat. Above-ground, cannibals can be found living in the hills and mountains.

Combat Overview

Cannibals, with the exception of cherubim, wield a cudgel and at least one natural axe weapon (filed teeth). Cannibals and juicing cannibals have a large gap in tier and thus a large gap in combat capability. Unusual for a humanoid faction, no members of the cannibals faction wear armor or clothing items.

Culture

These people sharpen their teeth for the express purpose of tearing flesh. The local dishes of cannibal villages always include the word "meat" in their names. There is no question as to why cannibals will trade secrets about the locations of humans and humanoids; despite this, starting villages in the hills host a cannibal and Mechanimist convert who the town's warden apparently doesn't consider a threat to their wards.

Trivia

• There is no change to the weight of the hate or dislike reason "for eating one of their young" when a legendary creature's randomized faction relationships involves the cannibals faction.
• The Glow-Wights, a removed faction which was later rewritten into the Gyre wights, were neutral towards the cannibals faction and vice-versa.
  • The two factions shared a thirst for blood and the practice of filing their teeth.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

• The lairs of legendary cannibals also house juicing cannibals who can easily pummel an unprepared, underleveled player character to death.
