Ghul

The female Ghul of Muslim folklore is the "ghoul" most people think of when they imagine a flesh eating creature. While it is true the Arabic ghoul eats corpses it is a corpse animated by a "vampire spirit".
The Ghole of Arabic lore is a shapeshifter that in its true form is a hairy long tusked cyclops with a long neck like an ostrich. They can on occasion fall in love with a human and fore them to become its mate. The offspring of such a union is another "type of ghole, a monstrous being that is a fast, savage, extremely effective predator that takes delight in killing and raping."
==Hannya ==
(HAN-ya)
Meaning "empty" the hannya is a vampiric demon from Japan that feeds exclusively off truly beautiful women and infants. "It is described as having a large chin, long fangs and horns, green scales, a snakelike forked tongue, and eyes that burn like twin flames."
