I may be waaay off base but these beasts have a magical cure that comes from what they call "mellified man". Has to do with death, honey and being entombed. Could the sub-tropical heat accelerate the process?

Mellified man, or human mummy confection, was a legendary medicinal substance created by steeping a human cadaver in honey. The concoction is mentioned only in Chinese medical sources, most significantly the Bencao Gangmu of the 16th-century Chinese medical doctor and pharmacologist Li Shizhen.
