: I thought the Phung were rogue Pnume - though faulty memory and years since I read _POA_ may have lead to error in this case. One might imagine the Phung hanging around Pnume waste disposal facilities for their sartorial splendor, not to mention haberdasherial elegance.
Though some relationship is implied between the Phung and Pnume , I had the impression that the Phung were physically larger and more impressive beasts. After all the hero bumps into a Pnume at one point knocking it back on its back-swung knees, a feat difficult to imagine, even with the element of surprise, happening to a Phung.
