Pishacha
Pishacha is one of the sub-types of the Darkling seeming - a culture-themed kith of demonic haunters. Theirs is the blessing of the Taste of Madness.
Overview
In Hindu myth, the Pishachas are demons, gaunt and strange with bulging bloodshot eyes and skin as dark as midnight. Pishachas were said to speak in their own strange language, haunting graveyards and cremation grounds with all the other ghosts. Changelings of the Pishacha kith share the terrifying red eyes and obsidian skin of their folktale analogs, but also have the addition of some manner of odd tongue — often forked, sometimes barbed or simply over-long.
