Psoglavs were described to live in caves or in a dark land which has plenty of gemstones, but no sun.^[1] They practice anthropophagy, by eating people, or even digging out corpses from graves to eat them.^[1] In Croatian the term is psoglavac, and in Slovene it is psoglavec. There are numerous legends about them, particularly on the Istrian peninsula in Croatia.^{[citation needed]}
