Ameshin

All About Ameshin
Ameshin is a monster of unknown origin. He has the body of a human, the wings of a falcon, and the back legs and tail of a Ryuku. He stands about eight feet tall, given the average height of humans and leg length of Ryuku.

Making of the Masamo
In ancient times, not long after Ameshin left Ekya, there was a fleet of Ekyan trade ships that became lost at sea due to a storm. The seven ships that survived managed to reach the island of Gitan, which was at that time uninhabited by sentient beings, except for one. The sailors found that they were too low on supplies to continue their voyage, so they decided to stay on the island to stock up. They mad themselves quite at home, not caring for the environment they haphazardly gathered supplies from. They quickly angered the island's guardian, Ameshin. He was outraged at how the merchants treated his island, and laid a curse on them never to leave, and to protect their surroundings, rather than destroy them.

Ameshin then made an underground home for each of the sailors, at the heart of a maze so that they may never escape. He designed this home after the personality of that particular sailor, so that they might live in eternal discomfort. Ameshin then placed a bit of their cargo with each sailor.

He dubbed the sailors Arnok, and called his dungeons Masamo. He also created an obelisk at the sailors' campsite, explaining their folly and punishment, as well as a warning for others who might land on the shores of Gitan. Once his creation was complete, he went into hibernation at his home. This residence lies somewhere on Gitan, its exact location known by none, other than Ameshin himself.
