Anchancho
Variations: SUPAY
Anchancho are the demons of disease in the
demonology of the Collao people of the Andes.
According to their legends, Anchancho were
born the children of a powerful prince named
Malleu of Chacamita and his concubines. They
are described as looking like black whirlwinds.
Anchancho are powerful at twilight but if
there is a storm as well, their power greatly increases. Using the power of the evil eye they can
charm a person, possess him, and once inside,
drain the body of its blood directly from the
heart. Fortunately, Anchancho live in isolated
mountain areas and their presence can be
detected easily because they make a noise similar
to the sound of a braying mule. Their personal
adversary is the god of plenty and wealth,
Ekkekko.

Andhaka
Variations: Andhakasuravadhamurti
Andhaka (“Cosmos”) is a demonic King from
Hindu demonology. He was born blind and ugly
from a drop of Lord Shiva’s sweat. In art he is
commonly shown as being impaled upon Lord
Shiva’s trident or as a dark-skinned skeletal being
whose blood has been drained from his body.
Andhaka is notably malevolent and incredibly
fierce; he has a terrible roar that he uses in combat
to frighten his opponents. If ever he is cut, as he
bleeds, smaller versions of himself are created
from the droplets of blood. He can only be destroyed after he decides to marry a beautiful
woman who is like a mother to him.

Christian demonology says that Andras, the
demon of quarrels, is a FALLEN ANGEL and
Grand MARQUIS OF HELL who commands thirty
legions, although conflicting sources claim him
to be a prince (see PRINCES OF HELL). When
summoned, he appears as a naked man with a set
of angelic wings and the head of an owl. He rides
upon the back of a black wolf and wields a saber.
