| - A dabqan (plural dabqanim) is a possessional spirit that appears as a pale (sand, parchment, palomino), papery, curvy-horned goat with two thin antennae, two small arms, and a long tailish, tadpole lower body. It enters and leaves the body through a projected tongue or little finger. It leaves behind a soft (much like lanugo), light-colored hairlike substance and the stench of bad breath. The trail can be followed to track it down, though.

| - A dabqan (plural dabqanim) is a possessional spirit that appears as a pale (sand, parchment, palomino), papery, curvy-horned goat with two thin antennae, two small arms, and a long tailish, tadpole lower body. It enters and leaves the body through a projected tongue or little finger. It leaves behind a soft (much like lanugo), light-colored hairlike substance and the stench of bad breath. The trail can be followed to track it down, though. A dabqan acts by first possessing a ghost—and only then possessing a person with its powerful hybrid form. It has been known to be able to enter even the relatively good who are mild and simple, in other words, not open to typical possession in their usual state, but not guarded and vigilant, an untried and untested soul. Alembroth is particularly effective at repelling a dabqan. Once it has possessed someone, the hybrid spirit must be questioned about the ghost's identity to being their separation. Then, surrounding the possessed person and inundating them with communal confession torments the attached dabqan to the point of fleeing back into the wilderness.
