       Bio: Pisacas are demonic creatures that feast on human meat,
       especially corpses. They are mentioned on the same level as
       other abominations as Rakshasa and Asuras, and are considered to
       be the physical incarnation of ignis fatuus. The origin of their
       names is believed to have been a result of the demonization of
       Hindu tribes by Aryan people.
       They like darkness and haunt cremation grounds along with other
       demons like Bhutas (meaning ghosts) and Vetalas. Pisacas have
       the power to assume different forms at will, and may also become
       invisible. Sometimes, they possess human beings, and the victims
       are afflicted with a variety of maladies and abnormalities like
       insanity. Certain mantras are supposed to cure such afflicted
       persons, and drive away the Pisaca which may be possessing that
       particular human being. In order to keep the Pisacas away, they
       are given their share of offerings during certain religious
       functions and festivals
       Abilities: Invisibility, causing diseases, insanity, possession.
       Strengths: Heavily sleathy and magic-based demon.
       Weaknesses: Weak to fire-based attacks.
