Perhaps seen as a form of ''Human with God-like'' abilities, the Females called The Dakini can be found in the Myths of Buddhism in particularly Northern China, Tibet and Mongolia. These Woman man be a link to The Ancient Greek takes of The Amazons. Human by birth, The Dakini were endowed by The Gods with ''superhuman strength and abilities to include reasoning''. The Dakini were not known to have Human Mates, their numbers replaced by The Gods. The Dakini were said to replenish their strength by consuming the flesh of Humans. They were fierce Warriors, well skilled with weapons in particular The Spear. Long after their Mythos died, Ancient Asian Cultures still used their images on Armor especially Shields, as a form of protection.
