Kuru's real name is "Kuru," which is derived from the Fore language of Papua New Guinea. It refers to a neurodegenerative disease transmitted through cannibalistic practices, particularly among the Fore people. The disease is characterized by tremors, loss of coordination, and ultimately, death. The term "kuru" itself means "to shake" in the Fore language, reflecting the symptoms of the illness.
