Origins
Aigamuxa (eye-gah-MOO-zhah) stalk the desert sands. "These tall, thin creatures look like naked humans from a distance, but close up they have claws, fangs, and most disturbingly, blank patches of flesh where their eyes should be. Aigamuxa are not blind, and have eyes on the soles of their feet. In order to see, they must get down on their hands and knees, and arch their feet over their back to see what is in front of them. This would be comical if not for the fact that they are extremely dangerous flesh-eating monsters. According to legend, the aigamuxa are responsible for the deadly sandstorms that sometimes sweep the region, and the appearance of one is often accompanied by roaring winds and stinging sands." ("Monster Factory" by Chris Dolunt)
In desert or sandy terrain, an aigamuxa can generate a powerful magical sandstorm around itself, which it can use to blind, cause damage, extinguish lights, or perform other maneuvers. While they are on their feet, they are effectively blind, and can tag their Eyes on the Soles of My Feet aspect to resist appropriate Maneuvers or attacks.

If anybody's mining for something uncommon, I suggest checking out the Shetani, east african spirits of great variety and temperment. You can probably come up with one for any occassion you wish.

Cool! If you are familiar with Nyambe, can you tell me which creatures there correspond to these Shetani? I was thinking of raiding the Nyambe book later for monsters.
