Rakshasas are a terrible danger to travellers in India. According to Hinduism, Rakshasas may have been particularly evil humans in former lives, and according to Buddhism they are demons of the army that fought Buddha, but in either case they're known to disturb sacrifices, desecrate graves, dine on human travellers, and carry off heroes' wives. They have long sharp teeth and venomous fingernails, and are said to have as many as ten heads. If you wish to defeat one, you'll need to be a hero.
