Special Qualities: Serve Cthulhu Mythos

The Tcho-Tcho People are a group of tribes of near-human Asian natives. They are genetically from humans, they are notably smaller, have livid red skin, and other marked physiological differences. Tcho-Tcho have no hair, fingernails, or toenails. Legends point to prehistoric genetic engineering of pre-human ancestors by the Great Old Ones Zhar and Lloigor. These legends purport they "grew from the 'seeds' of the Twin Obscenities"). They are feared by other tribes and appear to be inimicable to Mankind. They worship the beings of the Cthulhu Mythos (notably, Han , Chaugnar Faugn , Rhan-Tegoth , Hastur and His Spawn). They appear to be the “corpse-eating cult of Leng” mentioned in the Necronomicon and have “lamas” as priests (cf. Elder Hierophant). They might be related to the Men of Leng in the Dreamland. The name Tcho means “destroyer” or “sorcerer”, thus the Tcho-Tcho people are the “destructive sorcerer people”. Some Tcho-Tcho worship bizarre carnivorous plants they call Klaaktuk, especially the monstrous "Buna Klaaktuk" ("King Triffid", "Old Man Rattler" or "Great Witch-Doctor"). Tcho-Tcho regard the plants as gifts from the gods, as family, and as beings as intelligent as men, and Tcho-Tcho colonies in jungles often cultivate these plants. Tcho-Tcho are immune from the plant's blinding sting; share the plant's diet of rotting human flesh; produce from the plant clothing and ornaments from fibers, dyes from the flowers, high-grade vegetable oil from the stems, poison darts from the stingers, musical rattles and blow-guns from the plant's "clatter-sticks", and ritual hallucinogens prepared from mashed seeds (said to be especially potent when harvested soon after the plant has consumed a powerful witch-doctor). The mightiest and wisest of Tcho-Tcho "witch-doctors" wizards are spared from being eaten in cannibal feasts upon death, and are instead fed to Klaaktuk, especially the legendary, gigantic Buna Klaaktuk, oldest and wisest of the plant's kind, which stomps through the primeval jungles of Asia. Buna Klaaktuk is said to be large enough for the Tcho-Tcho's ancestors to have either carved caves or homes into the plant's vast bole or otherwise been absorbed into the cavities in Buna Klaaktuk's stem, or (in other legends) for Tcho-Tchos to been swallowed alive and whole by Buna Klaaktuk, and then slowly digested for generations, until their spirits or souls are reincarnated into the plant, which the Tcho-Tcho claim to be a great honor reserved for the greatest of the Tcho-Tcho.
