Tlahuelpuchi
Belief in the bloodsucker Tlahuelpuchi is prominent in the Mexican state of Tlaxcala, with deep roots amongst the indigenous Nahua culture of the region.
==Etymology==
The word ''tlahuelpuchi'' derives from the Nahuatl ''tlāhuihpochtli'' (plural ''tlātlāhuihpochtin''), a compound of ''tlāhuia'', "to light up or illuminate" and ''pōchtli'', which can mean "haze," "left," "southern" or "youth" (as in compounds like ''tēlpōchtli,'' young man). As a result, ''tlahuelpuchi'' may mean ''glowing haze'' or ''illuminated youth.''〔Martínez González (2006)〕
==Description==
The tlahuelpuchi is a type of vampire or witch that lives with its human family. It is able to shape shift and sucks the blood of infants at night. It has a kind of glowing aura when shape shifted. Tlahuelpuchi are born with their curse and cannot avoid it. They first learn of what they are sometime around puberty. Most tlahuelpuchi are female and the female tlahuelpuchi are more powerful than males. The tlahuelpuchi have a form of society. Typically they each have their own territories. They also have a pact with shamans and other supernatural creatures; a shaman won't turn in a suspected tlahuelpuchi. The typical sign that a victim was killed by the tlahuelpuchi are bruises on their upper body. The Tlahuelpuchi largely feeds on children, though it can kill others.
