 Langsuir and Pontianak 

Species: Undead

Habitat: Near Rivers and Seas/Forests

Disposition: Ferocious, Lustful

Diet: Spirit Energy of human men

In the era of past Demon Lords, Langsuir were originally the restless and vengeful spirits of women who had died due to labouring sickness or had died while pregnant while Pontianak were the spirits of stillborn baby girls. Both monsters possess hideous forms with long black hair and long claws which they can use to attack both men and women, especially pregnant women. They were even known to devour babies, consume the innards of human men, cause miscarriages in pregnant human women, and rip off the genitals of human men with their clawed hands. In addition, they both possess the power to fly and can assume the forms of owls to travel at night. However, both Pontianak and Langsuir do have differences. Langsuir were known to live near rivers and seas, feeding on fish when no human victims are present to feed upon, while Pontianak would live in forests and can track down their victims by the scent of clothes being left to dry overnight. Regardless, they will both attack just about anyone who passes by their territory. However, their appearances and behaviour had changed significantly when the current Demon Lord took over and turned all monsters into the mamono of the current age.

In the current age, Langsuir possess the form of young beautiful women with pale skin, long black hair and red eyes. Pontianak on the other hand possess the form of a young girl or teenager with pale skin, long black hair, and are often found wearing flowers to conceal their strong body odour with the floral scent of the said flowers. Like their predecessors, Langsuir live near rivers and seas and would feed on fish while Pontianak will seek out potential husbands by the scent of their clothes being left to dry overnight. Both can still fly and assume the forms of owls to travel at night. However, unlike their predecessors, they no longer kill humans. On the other hand, both Pontianak and Langsuir will aggressively ravish human men whom they encounter to obtain spiritual energy. If they take a liking for the said human men, they will claim them as husbands, determined to finally be able to bear children and form a family together with their husbands. They will also seek out the dead bodies of women who had died while pregnant or during childbirth to turn them into more Langsuir while still-born baby girls would be turned into Pontianak. It should be noted that Langsuir have an odd tendency to give birth to more Pontianak although their first-born female child will be a fellow Langsuir.

Although ferocious, both the Pontianak and the Langsuir can be tamed by cutting their clawed nails and long hair short which would turn them into seemingly normal human women who are both beautiful and demure. However, should the hair and nails be allowed to grow back, they will turn back into ferociously aggressive mamono.

Originating from the Spice Islands, Langsuir have started to appear in the mainland lately, finding husbands and producing Pontianak after having their first-born child which would be Langsuir instead. Both Pontianak and Langsuir are known to be friendly with Vampires although the feeling is not necessarily mutual.
