Related to The Malabar Coast of Southwest India, locals tell of The Kuttichathan. These are ''Trickster'' Demons who targets the young. Female by identity - They like to turn one's food into excrement, set clothes on fire and even put thorns and brambles into your bed! And while the above mentioned may be gross, The Kuttichathan is never (intentionally) Evil. If one provides a food offering (normally sweets) or a recently slaughtered Rooster, They will leave One alone.
