How long they maintain this hermitage depends on how close to death they are but they are never heard from again.Ilmu Bethara Karang, Path of Eternal Life ritual.Chupacabra, Goat Sucker: These mangy mongrels are scavenger beasts who have fed on the flesh of vampiric beings. The animals grow sickly and die within a day or two but are reborn as undead predators.Peuchen: Monsters similar in nature to the chupacabra but derived from animals other than canines and felines include the Peuchen; a snake-like version of the chupacabra.Chon-Chon, Vampire Sorcerer: Remnants of dead sorcerors and defeated witchdoctors, forever cursed by their rivals. While cannibals sometimes take the heads of worthy opponents as trophies, a necromancer or witchdoctor serves up an even more grisly fate for their greatest foes; stealing their soul for all eternity and using the head of the vanquished corpse as its undying slave.The ritual for creating a chon-chon must be performed within one day of the subject’s death. Only spellcasters are suitable candidates for the procedure which culminates in the neck being ringed by an ointment after which the head falls off and the subject’s ears grow to accomodate flight.Transformation ritual.Yara-Ma-Yha-Who, Blood Dwarf: These despicable dwarves are in truth pitiable creatures eternally cursed to this monstrous crimson form. Forever fated to pass on their horrid lineage, for each was once a mortal swallowed by such a monster.It is unknown how the first yara-ma-yha-who was created though some scholars recount the tale of the vampire dwarf who dared to bite Orcus himself, only to be forever cursed for his affrontery. His teeth were ripped from his mouth, his flesh turned bright red and he was returned to the world a hideous freak.Blood Curse curse.Asanbosam, Tree Vampire: ?Pey: ?Pey Alternate: ?Soul Eater: Deadly shapeshifting cadavers, soul eaters are ghoulish undead soldiers created from the corpses of cannibalistic witches and witchdoctors. Obayifu: ?Obayifu Alternate: ?Boo-Hag: ?Loogaroo: ?Ole-Higu: ?Soucouyant, Soukounian: ?Wendigo, Elemental Vampire: Wendigo Psychosis disorder.Adze: Shapechanging maggots, adze are elemental creatures attracted to carrion, filth and gore (and through association undead) by natural instincts. But after feeding upon undead flesh and blood they become forever tainted by the experience, thereafter only gain sustenance  preying upon the living.Firefly Adze Swarm: ?Fire Wendigo: The initial transformation phase of the wendigo is not much bigger than the mortal it possessed.Fire wendigo arise in places of volcanic activity, but lack of food sources can often cause them to migrate to other areas.Lightning Bug Adze Swarm: ?Mountain Wendigo Abomination: ?Thunder Hornet Adze Swarm: ?Wendigo Behemoth: ?Wight: Often found serving more powerful undead masters and mistresses, many varieties of wight exist, typically reflecting some evil aspect of their past lives or the environment in which they were murdered. Wizard Wight, Mokoi, Blind Wight: These undead assassins are created from the corpse of a spellcaster by a rival magician wherein the neck of the defeated is smothered in an ointment that causes the head to detach itself and fly up (see the Chon-chon). But the body does not go to waste, also taking on a life, or rather unlife of its own.The former body of the chon-chon is not spared the attentions of necromantic revival. The headless corpse becomes a mokoi, also known as wizard wights, or sometimes blind wights. Bone Wight, Aswang: Half-eaten undead horrors, bone wights are the wretched remains of unfinished meals given unlife through even fouler necromancy. These reanimated victims of circumstance are constantly hungry for flesh, even though they require no sustenance.Bone wights are those poor souls slain by being either partially devoured or at least prepared for consumption. Marsh Wight, Chibaiskweda: Marsh wights are created through the improper burial of a body by dumping it in a bog. These creatures are found in Native American mythology (specifically the Abenaki tribe) and are thought to be corpses animated by marsh gas following an improper burial.ILMU BETHARA KARANGUnlock the secrets of eternal life by sacrificing everything for a new beginning, transferring your ebbing mortal soul to a diminutive vampiric vessel.
