Description
This is a creature from the local folklore of my country. The Soucounyant is said to appear as a normal person during the day but at night she takes of her skin to reveal flames. These flames fly about and look for any cracks or holes in a home to enter through. It will find you while you sleep then it drinks your blood. They say it takes the blood to the demon in the silk cotton tree to trade for power. When the sun rises it puts back on its skin and goes about its day. To defeat one you have to find the skin and rub salt on it, the salt prevents it from putting the skin back on and it dies, the skin is usually kept in a mortar. Another way to defeat it is to spread rice at a junction, it will spend the entire night trying to collect the rice. During the day they look like old women.
