From Damasca

Description
Hosh are a odd race indeed, thought to have come around from mass mutation on Makarda on cave dwelling people, these monsters look like tall humanoids, apart from their colouring (A Neon Green), their heads (Which resemble a squid), and their legs, which have devolved into spiked stumps. As such, they cannot walk on their legs anymore.
Instead, these cave and dungeon monsters have found a new way to get around. They use their incredible strength to grasp the roof itself, and swing itself from place to place like a kid would on a set of monkey bars. It is quite fast when moving like this, and can do it silently so it can just fly out of the darkness.
Oddly enough, the biggest mystery of these monsters come from the reports that isolated trees will sometimes house one, hanging from a high branch. Noone knows how they get there, but they don’t seem to attack anyone, but rather hang in one spot, facing forward, with a confused look on its face, as if it didn’t know how it got there itself.
Habitat
Caved areas of Makarda
Combat Strategy
Its main weapons are its stumps, which it uses to bash and bludgeon the foe until it dies, before using the spikes to grasp and lift the corpse for eating. Its main weakness is its arms. If they are cut off, its as good as dead. Also, just moving to somewhere with no roof will stop them in their tracks, making them easy arrow fodder.
