Abarimon
Field Report
Abarimon refers to a mythical tribe described in ancient texts as having backward-facing feet and incredible agility. These beings were believed to live in remote mountain regions, isolated from the rest of humanity. They were said to be adapted so completely to their environment that removal from it led to death. Ancient authors treated them as both marvels and warnings about nature’s extremes. Though often considered human, they were never seen in modern times and are thought to be allegorical or misinterpreted tribes. The concept persisted through medieval bestiaries and travelers' tales. No archaeological evidence supports their existence. Their story reflects early attempts to catalog exotic peoples without scientific basis.
