Stuhać lives in high mountains and barren areas; how it looks isn't described, however it is known that it wears clutters made of human ligaments on its legs, so that it wouldn't slip on mountain precipices<ref name=SMR/>. If its clutter would broke, he would pull ligaments frome someone's legs to make new one<ref name=SMR/>.
