Also Called[]
- Vampire-Demon Spirit Physiology
Capabilities[]
A user with this ability either is or can transform into a Vetala, a vampiric-demon-bat spirit of Hindu origins that possesses the corpses of the dead to torment the living. They are also powerful seers filled with knowledge that mortals desperately desire to know. Mortals foolishly try and gain the Vetala's favor so they gain its vast knowledge of the past and the future, including sorcerers seeking to capture them and turn them into slaves.
