The penanggalan is a species of vampire from malaysia, and consists of a woman's head trailing a full set of body organs (or sometimes just the digestive tract). It feeds exclusively on the blood of children, esspecially unborn babies (which results in a misscarriage). It can squeeze through the tiniest of openings, manipulate its intestines like tentacles, and fears only thorns (for very obvious reasons). In some legends the penanggalan returns to a hollow, headless body by day but can only fit back inside after soaking in vinegar. They will usually employ slaves to gaurd this body while they're gone.
