Motherly Love

From their birth, Doman children are told terrifying tales of Songsi, a crimson cloudkin that lures boys and girls from their homes by calling out in an eerily womanlike voice. Once their victims have strayed far enough from safety, the monster will swoop down and snatch up the children, then carry them back to its mountaintop nest where it will tear them limb from limb for its own fledglings.
