The Myth
Stuhać is a demonic creature that lives in high mountains and barren, desolate areas. Its appearance is not described, but it is known for wearing clutters made from human ligaments around its legs.
The ligament clutters allow Stuhać to keep its footing while moving across dangerous mountain precipices. If one of these clutters breaks, Stuhać pulls ligaments from someone’s legs and uses them to make a new one.
