Gnod-Sbyin
Variations: Gnod Sbyin Mo, Gnodsbyin, YAKSHA

The gnod-sbyin of Tibet preys exclusively on
people who live a holy or spiritual life. Its name,
gnod-sbyin, translates literally to mean “doer of
harm,” and this demonic vampiric spirit does
everything it can to live up to its name. Apart
from its immense strength and its ability to cause
and spread disease on an epidemic scale, it has a
wide array of unspecified supernatural powers at
its disposal. It has INCUBUS- and SUCCUBUS-like
behaviors that it indulges in whenever the opportunity presents itself. It takes great pleasure
in the hurt it causes people and it delights in
making noises that disrupt the meditation of the
monks and nuns, but its silence can be purchased
with the regular offerings of proper sacrifices. Described as having black skin, the gnod-sbyin is
usually found living in difficult to reach and isolated places in the mountains.
