| - Pishachas (Sanskrit: पिशाच, Piśāca) are flesh-eating demons according to Indian mythology. Their origin is obscure, although some believe that they were created by Brahma. Another legend describes them as the sons of either Krodha (figuratively "Anger") or as Dakṣa’s daughter Piśāca. They have been described to have a dark complexion with bulging veins and protruding, red eyes. They are believed to have their own languages, known as Paiśāci. According to one legend, they are sons of Kashyapa and Krodhavasa, one of the daughters of Prajapati Daksha.The Nilamat Puran of the 7th century mentions the valley of Kashmir being inhabited by two tribes — the Nagas and the Pisachas. Piśācas like darkness and traditionally are depicted as haunting cremation grounds along with other monsters like bhutas and vetālas. Piśācas have the power to assume different forms at will, and may also become invisible. They feed on human energies. Sometimes, they possess human beings and alter their thoughts, and the victims are afflicted with a variety of maladies and abnormalities like insanity. Certain mantras are supposed to cure such afflicted persons, and drive away the Piśāca which may be possessing that particular human being. In order to keep the Piśāca away, they are given their share of offerings during certain religious functions and festivals. The origin of Piśāca is unknown, although it maybe be the personification of the will-o'-the-wisp. or the demonization of some Indian tribes by Aryans who lived in the Piśāca Kingdom. Pāṇini, in his Aṣṭādhyāyi, described the Piśāca as a "warrior clan". In the Mahābhārata, the "Piśāca people" (equivalent to the modern day Nuristani people) are said to live in Northwest India and they are descendants of Prajāpati Kaśyapa.
- The Demon Beast Warriors of Emperor Ganishka's Troops. These various animals (to date: Crocodiles, Elephants, Tigers and Whales) are possessed by Kushan magic (implanting a spirit into an animal) and sometimes outfitted with human weapons. The nature of the possession requires a Kushan casters to locally control the minds of the animal (in doing so they must be in a state of meditation). Emperor Ganishka uses this inhuman force to dominate Wyndham and invade Vritanis. They can still be affected by the barrier that rejects astral bodies though not entirely since they have an actual body (originally animals) unlike Trolls that came from the astral world who are pure spirits. When their possessors are killed their minds go back to their animalistic nature making them less dangerous though their monstrous appearance and possibly their enhanced abilities (since crocodiles can still carry their spears) aren't reverted. Once dead Pishachas don't revert to their original form immediately, as it will take some time. The term Pishacha means devils in Sanskrit. An apt description for their fighting style and abilities.
