Biography[]
Hunting the Lion[]
After tribesman Puhi goes missing following an attack from a mountain lion, Huupi partook in a search party led by Taabe to find him. During their search, they encountered female member and Taabe's sister, Naru. Taabe allowed Naru to join, citing her skills in tracking and ethnobotany.
The party eventually found Puhi, gravely wounded and mauled, and while Taabe departed to hunt the lion, Huupi and the other members carried Puhi back to camp on a stretcher after Naru split from the group to find her brother. Taabe would eventually kill the lion, being appointed war chief for his efforts.
Finding Naru and Death[]
After Naru secretly departed from the tribe to hunt a Grizzly Bear, Taabe sent Huupi, Wasape, Ania and Itsee to look for her. Unbeknownst to them, Naru had encountered an invisible assailant that had killed the bear she was hunting.
The group eventually found Naru, the latter desperately attempting to explain what she saw, likening the unknown monster to a 'mupitsl'. The group would go on to arrogantly dismiss Naru's claims, and bound her to return to camp.
The group found a spot to rest, and Itsee cited that he needed to "go take a squat" and split from the group. Suddenly, Naru's 'mupitsl' - a Yautja revealed itself and killed Wasape. Shocked, Huupi attempted a coordinated assault on the attacker with Ania, though the two were eventually overwhelmed and killed by the creature; in his case, he answered the Predator's roar with a war cry of his own. After exchanging blows with the Predator, the Predator sliced off his right arm, as well as his abdomen. As the Predator prepared its Wristblades, Huupi could only scream at it in defiance before he was decapitated instantly.
Personality and Traits[]
Huupi was largely bigoted and jeered at Naru's determination to become a hunter. He was, however, a fearless warrior, and attempted to combat the Feral Predator alongside Ania with a mere spear. Owing to his skill, he lasted far longer than to be expected against the creature, though he was eventually slain. Even in his last moments, Huupi remained defiant and yelled at the Predator before being decapitated.
