Lamhoyo

The Toradjas of Central Celebes believe that the inside parts only of the man take on the animal shape, a state which they term lamhoyo.

Description

The lamboyo may be distinguished from an ordinary animal by being misshapen to some extent, for instance, a buffalo may have only one horn, or a dog may have a pig's snout.

Behavior

The lamhoyo like the vampire, has a preference for human victims, whom he grievously tortures and maims.
