Orang gunung are said to be beings that can only be seen by those possessing either magical abilities or spiritual sight, and are often described as beautiful, dressed in Samuderan traditional attire, and nearly identical to human in appearance.
These beings are often blamed for the disappearance of humans up high in the mountains, for they are often invite travellers and climbers to their settlements either out of hospitality or mischief. Because of that, it's necessary for humans who encountered them to reject their offers, or going through certain rituals in order to be protected.

Stories about simaung often describe them as "humans possessing great supernatural powers, that enable them to turn of their own will into creatures identical to ordinary tigers". However, this power is not similar to that of magic, as it can only be gained by people with great magical powers who also have happens to have special blood line from the ancient Bethinan priests, who are believed to be the first wielders of this ability.

Each head then struggled against one another, hoping to get more of the necklace for themselves. This caused it to become tighter and tighter, rendering the Goji unmovable, and was promptly slain.
