Liquichiri

Liquichiri
(Lay-GUEE-chi-ree)
In Peru there is a vampiric spirit that feeds off the body fat and blood of sleeping people called a liquichiri ("vampire"). It has the ability to shape-shift into a variety of different animals, which it uses in order to slip into homes silently and unseen. Vampires that are similar to the liquichiri are the KHARISIRI, LIK'ICHIRI, ÑAKAQ and the PISHTACO.
