Their report on the mutton man is a few pages back.

The citizens sent us to find Baba Yaga when the moon grew and the sky turned red. The mutton man was lurking near her hut, attacking those it came across, and there were ink stains in the grass. I don't think it's a coincidence. There appeared to have been a fight.

In common folklore, if one looks at the full moon, the shadows on it form the shape of either a man's face or a rabbit. Some say the rabbit is pounding rice to make mochi cakes. Others say the moon is a celestial being resembling a man, or perhaps a spirit banished from the earth.
