vampires in asia

[gavin]

it is believed here in our country that vampires exist but in a more hideous way! there bodies are literally split in half as bat like wings grew from ther back. they fly into the night searching for pregnant women(it smells good to them) they consume the unborn babies with their elongated tongues:eek2: . i may sound crazy:confused: with this but a friend of mine actually caught one with the towns people in a very remote province! but honestly i prefer the vampires of europe, as believed that the majority of the of the dark angels resides.:rolleyes: honestly i want to befriend one!:fd:

Well good luck with that hun. I am not to sure that vampires exist in the way you are thinking.

My best advice to you is to forget everything you have ever read about in fiction novels, and hollywood movies, or any movies for that matter, and start over.

A vampire is an energy feeder. Not a bloodsucker with fangs preying on children and virgins, etc.

Anyway, feel free to look around. If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to msg me.

i agree with eclecta though the picture of the vampire has been marred with the myths and media take a look around and see for your self what its about and dont listen to the myths because they are myths

Kappa


Most depictions show kappa as child-sized humanoids, though their bodies are often more like those of monkeys or frogs than human beings. Some descriptions say their faces are apelike, while others show them with beaked visages more like those of tortoises or with duck beaks. Pictures usually show kappa with thick shells and scaly skin that ranges in color from green to yellow or blue.

Kappa inhabit the ponds and rivers of Japan and have various features to aid them in this environment, such as webbed hands and feet. They are sometimes even said to smell like fish, and they can certainly swim like them. The expression kappa-no-kawa-nagare ("a kappa drowning in a river") conveys the idea that even experts make mistakes.

The most notable feature of the kappa, however, is the water-filled depressions atop their heads. These cavities are surrounded by scraggly hair, and this type of bobbed hair style is named okappa-atama for the creatures. The kappa derive their incredible strength from these liquid-filled holes, and anyone confronted with one may exploit this weakness by simply getting the kappa to spill the water from its head.

The kappa possesses a deep sense of etiquette, so one trusted method is to appeal to this, for a kappa cannot help but return a deep bow, even if it means losing its head-water in the process. Once depleted, the kappa is seriously weakened and may even die. Other tales say that this water allows kappa to move about on land, and once emptied, the creatures are immobilized. Stubborn children are encouraged to follow the custom of bowing on the grounds that it is a defense against kappa.

small children are one of the gluttonous kappa's favorite meals, though they will eat adults as well. They feed on these hapless victims by sucking out the shirikodama (or entrails, blood, liver, or "life force", depending on the legend)
