A race of
Asiatic
peoples most common to
southeast Asia
, though they sometimes range as far as
Tibet
and
Malaysia
. They are
small
both in
stature
and in
population
-- few of them are taller than five feet, and there are believed to be fewer than half a million worldwide.
It is said that the tcho-tcho aren't even fully
human
-- old
myth
s have it that they were created by
malign
gods who interbred a race of evil dwarves called the
Miri Nigi
with the human worshipers of a god called
Chaugnar Faugn
. It is also said that the tcho-tcho are just visitors to our world -- they claim that their true home is at a place called the
Plateau of Leng
.
The tcho-tcho are widely hated by their neighbors, primarily because the tribe enthusiastically practices
cannibalism
-- one of the more
gruesome
tcho-tcho delicacies is called
bak bon dzshow
--roughly translated:
human ganglia paste
. The tcho-tcho customarily file their teeth into points and raid neighboring tribes for
food
. It is also believed that the tcho-tcho practice
black magic
, and in parts of southeast Asia, any episodes of
bad luck
are routinely blamed on the tcho-tcho.
There are very few tcho-tcho living in Western nations. Only a few thousand live in the
United States
, and they tend to work hard to blend in with American
society
-- practices like the filing of teeth are left behind in the interest of becoming
productive
American citizens. However, other practices seem to be more difficult to abandon; three tcho-tcho residents -- one of them a
restaurateur
-- were arrested and deported in
New York City
in 1997 for preparing and serving bak bon dzshow...
