Krasue · salience 0.9

“Accounts describe the Krasue hunting for raw meat, carrion, or the blood and entrails of animals, and it is especially associated with preying on pregnant women, drawn to the blood and afterbirth of childbirth; in some tellings it feeds by extending a long tongue-like proboscis into its victim.”

“By night, it transforms and hunts, with favored targets including the sick, the dying, and above all pregnant women and unborn children, echoing the predatory focus found in Manananggal lore.”
