Rakshasa

Origin: Hindu mythology

Type: Demons

Rakshasas come in many different sizes and forms, some traits such as enormous bellies, pointed teeth, and crooked legs. In legends, Rakshasas were evil humans who have been reincarnated in a monstruous form as a result of their evil deeds. They feed on human flesh and blood, haunting cemeteries. They are also magicians with the ability of shape shifting, and enjoy harassing mediators and holy rituals.
