By the way, can anyone provide a detailed reference on Rakshasas? I'd like to learn more (they are from fantasy, right? :нуб:)
In ancient Indian mythology, the Rakshasa is one of the primary classes of demons. Unlike Asuras, who are rivals to the gods, Rakshasas act as enemies of humans.
In the Vedas, Rakshasas are night monsters that hunt people and interfere with sacrifices. They either have a terrifying appearance themselves—one-eyed with multiple heads or horned—or take the form of sinister beasts and birds. In the epics and Puranas, Rakshasas are man-eating giants with long arms, fiery eyes, huge bellies, gaping mouths, and bloodstained fangs. According to the "Mahabharata," Rakshasas are descendants of Pulastya; according to other versions, they were created by Brahma to guard (hence their name) the primordial waters. In many myths, mortal humans, Gandharvas, and other semi-divine beings become Rakshasas due to curses or committed sins
