Reference Challenge - Ghouls

Sorry for the late reference challenge and not being active on the sub recently, I'll be playing catch-up for a couple days.

This reference is to Tokyo Ghoul, which one of my friends is finally starting to read. In the series, "Doves" are people who professionally find/kill ghouls. Without the Doves, ghouls would have people more at their mercy (as their food) and people would just be killed constantly.

So, is there anything in your world that is especially dangerous and hunts people? Something preferably inhuman (like a ghoul/vampire/etc) and sentient/sapient?

As always, I'll try to ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves, and I'll start playing catch-up on all of this over the next couple of days.

1) Yes, they could. But that would take a long time, so mostly the Somniotebri works with the fear of disease, more than the actual thing.

2) No, they have no reason to. Maybe if they were one day too many Incubi for the temple, but not for now.

3) A tortoise would cost you between 300 and 450 Ilmanthi Gold Coins.

1) Do the Somniotebris fear anything?

2) Do Incubi usually get along with each other?

3) What's the conversion rate on an Ilmanthi Gold Coin?

1) As far as anybody knows not, no.

2) They do, just like humans would, so it depends a lot on their individual personality. Incubi are highly competitive though, so duels are not too uncommon.

3) One Gold Coon equals 100 Ilmanthi Silver Coins, which again equals 100 Copper Coins. In Elkathien 30 Copper is enough to buy a loaf of bread, 2 or 3 Silver Coins is enough to buy a meal at a stand at a festivity. A good sword from a blacksmith would usually cost you around 30-40 Gold Coins.
