Cannibals

Cannibals are a faction in Caves of Qud that start hostile to the player character. Like their name suggests, they enjoy eating meat and use blood as their liquid in the Water Ritual. They appear underground and in ruins. Glow-wights in particular are often found in the same locations as Girsh.

Whether they are called cannibals purely because of their humanoid-focused diet or that they are a type of creature called "cannibal" is unknown.

Trivia

 * Despite being cannibals, they can still hate or dislike legendary creatures if the creature eats one of their young.
 * Related, cannibals are not hated nor disliked more significantly for eating children.
