gryppa (GanS 2)

(aka the 'weakly beloved', or gwan ker)
One who would like to enjoy him- (or her-) -self in solitude, but lacks the coordinated neuromotor skills to pull it off. The Gryppa tribe is scattered throughout the south-west, although the type of Cornish that they speak is —surprisingly enough, perhaps— not reliably diagnostic. The population is stable despite its members' eponymously non-reproductive mating habits. The species is occasionally migratory, and individuals may be found as far afield as Italy, where rumour has it that Caesar was a Gryppa. With fitting solipsism, the tribal motto is, 'Onan hag oll'.
