The Phoenixian Book of Creatures
Anthropophagus Anthropophagus

A headless cannibal that resembles a human (except for the missing head). Its eyes, nose, and mouth are located on the chest. Its brain is located in the pelvis.

The Anthropophagi are known to eat their own kind as well as feast on human flesh. They are often found drinking from human skulls and using other bones as various eating utensils.

It is a common practice for the Anthropophagi to sacrifice and eat their parents once they reach a certain age. They also engage in battles with humans and consume the losers.

These creatures inhabit a region to the north and northeast of the Black Sea and are not to be confused with the Androphagoi, a human tribe that once inhabited a nearby region.

The Androphagoi were not cannibilistic but did dismember and deflesh their dead in ritualistic burial practices.

Also known as the man-eaters, and the Acephalous.
