Tataka was a character on Xena: Warrior Princess. She was an evil demon, who decieved the peoples of India into sending them to help the slaughter against the great god Rama. She'd win the favor of her people by doing good deeds before ultimately victimizing them. When she died (presumably slain by Rama), her spirit lived on and had the power to possess others. She possessed Maya, the assistant of Eli, who was cured by Eli and then the spirit entered Gabrielle. Xena and a reluctant Eli cast the demon out of Gabrielle.
