The Maia is a being that closely resembles the Human race.
This peculiar creature lives in caves, hollows or under rocks, where it nests and breeds paranoia.
Ever so often the Maia will crawl out form under its rock to socialise with other hermit creatures.
It is speculated that this socialising behaviour is a result of boredom, but it might just be that the Maia actually enjoys the small adventures outside its home.
However it is an easily stressed being and too much socialisation is usually followed by a longer period of hibernation.
