Legendary humanoid creatures with tails who lived in trees and caves, enemies of humans. Their English name is a bit of a misnomer– “Cet’aeni” and “Tcetin” are Athabaskan words for monkeys, but only in the modern era (no monkeys have ever lived in Alaska.) The names literally translate simply as “Tailed Ones.”
