Who is Chtylok?

Origin Many centuries ago the ancestors of the Savage Land tribe, or better known as the Fall People, attempted to escape the Savage Lands. While they were in the frozen Antarctic right outside their jungle, they got attacked by Chtylok. He drove them back to the jungle; however some went back in pieces. While back in the jungle the Fall People thought of this as a sign from the gods that they shouldn’t leave the jungle and even began to worship Chtylok. They began to leave him offerings of fatted ram and such every new moon. This was all because they believed that one day a terrible disaster would come over the valley and the great Chtylok would come out of the earth to save them from disaster. Later on into the future, in present day, the damage to the ozone layer above the Savage Land started to melt the glaciers, which threatened to flood the entire region below. The water trickling below into the subterranean caverns, however, awaken the Chtylok who had been sleeping for an entire millennium.
