In Aboriginal Australian mythology, Yara Ma Yha Who is a small vampiric red man with a giant head and octopus-like tentacles with suckers for fingers. It would jump on top of people sitting beneath fig trees. After consuming its victims, it would regurgitate them up alive, albeit a little bit shorter. If Yara Ma Yha Who would attack the same person repeatedly, the person will continually be regurgitated each time, getting a little bit smaller and a little bit redder until they became a Yara Ma Yha Who themselves.
