Adachigahara

By Crusader1307

A legend from 10th Century Japan, The Adachigahara is an evil goblin-like female creature. Human before she was cursed - she was a high-ranking woman who served a Prince. This Prince suffered from an unknown and unusual disease that required him to bath and consume the blood of children. Adachigahara would go out into the countryside and find unattended children, butcher them and take their blood back to her Lord. Eventually, she was caught. The Prince disavowed any knowledge of her actions. She was put to death.  Reborn to her her new state, she still prowls the countryside in search of unattended children (to drain their blood).
