Description
The Kapre live in the largest and most ancient balete trees deep in the jungle and their hair resembles the viney tree's exterior which helps to hide these big creatures. Some hide their faces with wooden masks because they fear the diwata of the jungle and they think by wearing them, they could be mistaken as the diwata's many jungle creatures. Some say Kapres were originally from the mountains until they were banished by the diwata residing in a volcano and their fiery eyes and red skin are hints of their lineage. An enraged Kapre could wreak havoc, destroying all in its path. Fortunately Kapres love to smoke and could be coaxed into leaving caravans alone sometimes for for their favorite tobacco.
