Only known as the Great Race of Yith, this species of mamono has the unique ability to swap consciousness between itself and the target of its choosing. Their normal body is similar in appearance to a Mindflayer, and some believe they’re a distance relative. From the bottom are three tentacles attached to a large, muscular snail like foot with the appearance of a dress used for slow locomotion. At the end of two of these tentacles on the sides of the ‘dress’ are crab-like claws used for grasping objects in a surprisingly gentle manner. The third tentacle, located in the back, has a suction hole at the end, not unlike that of a Manticore’s (and used for the same purpose). Further up, the appearance of a voluptuous woman with yellowish skin takes shape. From beneath their hair dots a ‘crown’ of eyes, giving them three hundred and sixty degree vision. This vision is vital for their unique ability.

The Great Race of Yith normally secludes themselves in caves, not only out of fear from an unknown assailant they dare not describe, but also out of shyness. They recognize their appearance as rather unnerving to both human and mamonos alike, and do not wish to cause discomfort. Living in colonies ranging from fifteen to fifty, these mamono not only harbor immense wisdom that makes the likes of Hakutakus and Owl Mages seek them out for knowledge, but they are surprisingly keen on the current events of the world. This is thanks to their power to swap bodies with their target of choosing. Occasionally, they’ll venture to the surface both for the sake of fresh air, and to find potential targets to swap with.

Once they’ve caught someone one in their sight, be they human or mamono, they can swap bodies whenever they please regardless of the distance. They tend to favor women and mamonos however. Once they do so, they’ll assimilate to the norms and customs of their new body to the best of their abilities, though some close friends and family might find the person they once knew to be a little off all the sudden. Now with a new body, they’ll seek to learn all that they can about the world around them. In this new body, provided it had a man in its life, it’ll also be very affectionate towards him, seeking not only the love they’re too shy to experience themselves, but also spirit energy, their favorite snack. Curiously, any spirit energy the mamono or woman might’ve received during intimacy is somehow transported to the Yith once the consciousness has been swapped back, regardless of the time passed.

In the event that they’ve taken the body of a man, while they can’t absorb spirit energy in his body, they’ll still curiously explore and toy with the man. If the man had a woman in his life, they’ll make love to her out of love and curiosity to see how it feels to be on the other side of the equation.

The person or mamono they swap with describes the experience as if it was some sort of dream, even the process of consciousness swapping is said to be like being lulled to sleep by some unknown force. Once in the Yith body, they describe others in their situation and equally disorientated. However, Yiths who are not swapping bodies are nothing short of warm and welcoming to the new guest. They’re invited to explore the subterranean home, and read from books containing the richest and lewdest of knowledge. Of course however, any protests to return their original bodies are subsequently ignored.

Despite this, the Great Race of Yith are by no means lax with their swapping ability, and in fact follow very strict guidelines during the swapping. Those who break any of the rules even once, regardless of circumstances, have their ability to swap consciousness sealed away permanently. The rules are simple however. No more than ten Yith per colony can swap at any given time, they are to act as their current host does based on their knowledge of the host’ societal norms with the exception of pursuing further knowledge, and under no circumstances are they allowed to create intimate relationships with anyone else beyond that which the host has. They can also keep the host’s body for no longer than a week.

While the Great Race of Yith is known for their swapping ability, some choose to not use it, especially if a man loves them in spite of their appearance (though might still do it with the man in question if only to add an interesting kink to intimate moments). Husbands describe their wives as nothing short of loving, though certainly bookish and still maintaining their introverted behaviors with everyone except their man.
