Obayifo
A kind of living vampire found among the Ashanti people of the Cold Coast in West Africa. The
obayifo is said to be a male or female human, able to leave its body at night to travel about and
cause harm of all kinds. The vampire's chief delight is to drink the blood of children, causing
their slow, painful deaths. It also attacks crops, sucking out the sap and vital juices, thereby
causing terrible blights, especially in cacao crops. Anyone can be an obayifo, although certain
clues to their identity are available- an obession with food, meat in particular, and constantly
shifting eyes. WHile in flight at night, the vampire is phosphorescent. The name is derived from
the Ashanti word bayi, meaning "sorcery." The obayifo is similar to the loogaroo of the West
Indies.

Ohyn
A species of Polish vampire, caused by the presence of teeth and a caul at birth. The only way
that one can prevent such a child from being an ohny is to extract the teeth of the infant, lest
it die and awaken in the earth, and chew its own flesh and bones before festing on relatives.
