Ixupi are energy-sapping elemental spirits.



At the Windlenot Museum

The pots the Ixupi were imprisoned in had been obtained by Professor Windlenot to be in a display in his museum. He was aware of a curse linked to the pots, where prior owners were found dead and mummified, but still tempted fate. After that, the construction of his museum came almost to a halt as the mexican workers who were helping with the construction refused to work.


When the museum neared completion, the pots were placed on display in the Tombs and Curses room, in an exhibit called Tomb of the Ixupi. It was there the thirteen pots remained, until one night when two teenagers, Beth and Merrick, found their way into the museum. They were the ones who had opened the pots and unleashed the Ixupi. However, due to how they were captured, the Ixupi could not leave the general area that their vessels were kept, until they killed a person, and that person's soul replaced the Ixupi. The two teens, while trying to find a safe place to hide, were attacked multiple times by the Ixupi. Eventually, both were killed, Beth by the Fire Ixupi, and Merrick by the Jade Ixupi.


Not long after that, Professor Hubert Windlenot had returned to the museum, discovering things out of place. This led to his discovering that Ixupi had been released. Eventually, when he tried to capture to the Ixupi, he found himself thwarted by the puzzles he placed in the museum. Afterwards, he attempted to flee, only to fall victim to the Stone Ixupi.


Years later, while the Ixupi patiently waited, a lone person, dared to spend the night at the museum, makes their way into the museum, first being attacked by the Water Ixupi, and learns from the spirits of those defeated what had happened. Eventually the ten Ixupi that were left at the museum ended up captured.

Behavior

The Ixupi are cunning, and intellegent. They have adapted to being bound to certain elements. They will also generate sounds to lure in victims. They have also used the need for people to find the two halves of their vessels, and have hidden some of those halves in areas that others can guard. Two examples of this is shown in the museum. They have also shown intellegence due to attempts to hide the halves of the vessels they were trapped in. They had made sure the parts are seperated, and in different locations. Also, if approached with the wrong vessel, the Ixupi will take it after the attack and hide it elsewhere.

Types

There are at least thirteen types of Ixupi, each one linked to an element. Those types are as follows: Ash, Cloth, Crystal, Electricity, Fire, Jade, Metal, Sand, Stone, Tar, Water, Wax, and Wood
