Nagasjatingaron
(Na-GA-stay-sum-grun)
A vampire from the nation of Sumatra, the nagasjatingaron ("vampire") feeds off the tendi, or soul, of its human victims. Victims of this sort of vampiric attack must consult and hire a specific type of vampire-fighting witch doctor known as a BATAKS. Using a magical rub made of GARLIC and various other herbs, the salve will both repel the vampire and restore the damaged soul of the victim.
