There's a popular saying that parents often tell their children when they want to take a nap. It goes like this: “If you so much as yawn, the Orejon is gone.” It is no easy task to write about the Orejon, a shy creature to say the least, that spends its life in hiding. Rumors are plenty, and separating fact from fiction becomes even harder when people like to use its image to scare children and further add to their made up traits. What we know for sure is that the Orejon was granted by nature ears thrice the size of its body, making it able to listen to every sound in a radius of kilometers. Yet, faced with a similar dilemma as us, how does the Orejon distinguish noise from signal? This remains a mystery, for those beings that succeed in such a task are seldomly seen, always spying on us and keeping an insurmountable distance. We do, in turn, count on recordings of Orejones that failed to make such a distinction. Tormented by a never ending stream of stimuli, found Orejons are usually weary from nervous wreckage. Sad stories are told of creatures that grew paranoid of everything that they could hear, unable to distinguish what was close and what was far, what was signal for foes and what was signal for friends. Witnessing a sensibility that shreds their strength and points it back at them, the question rises: are their ears a gift, or a curse? Was the success of this particular evolutionary trait nature's mistake? Or does our advance upon the forest play a major role in this imbalance? We know that these creatures are curious. We also know, from those that were found, that they are usually ashamed of their appearance. Sayings that claim that its ears grew for the sole purpose of listening to what other creatures said about them are no more than another thing parents like to tell their children, yet it does hold truth to a certain degree and might explain the reason Orejones are so frequently driven to madness. Orejon´s cloaks and masks have been found hidden below piles of leaves and mud. They are often crafted in the image of what are commonly perceived as more “appealing forest creatures”. Some masks are even thought to portray humans.
