Welcome to Gaia! ::

I found information on a Raksa in my big book of mythical beasts but that's a hindu man eating spirit.

I looked up Rakshasa which I found to be different. The Rakshasa is from Tibetan mythology. It is a cannabal creature also called the man-eater. According to the Ramayana, Rakshasas were created from Brahma's foot; other sources claim they are descended from Pulastya, or from Khasa, or from Nirriti and Nirrita. Hinduism maintains that the Rakshasas were particularly wicked humans in previous incarnations. Rakshasas are notorious for disturbing sacrifices, desecrating graves, harassing priests, possessing human beings, and so on. Their fingernails are venomous, and they feed on human flesh and spoiled food. They are shapechangers, illusionists, and magicians
