The Finum is a predatory animal found in Esrei primarily in woods. Finum is known for creating an auditorial illusion that makes the prey believe the sound is coming from one direction while the source (Finum) is on the opposite side.

Survival
As a predator, the Finum survives by hunting its prey. using an auditory illusion. It is unknown how the Finum does it, but it is speculated that it manipulates the way sound travels, sending the sound waves around the victim in two directions and moving back towards the head of the victim.

When the prey turns around, the Finum will attack from behind, killing it with its vicious, sharp teeth.

Reproduction
Female and male Finums have different calls, so usually many will initiate a mating call at once and those that are closest will run towards each other and mate. This happens once a year.
