Origin

Bayang-Bayang, meaning "shadow" in Indonesian, is a creature born from the collective fear and nightmares of humanity. In the realm of the shadows, where the sun's rays never reach, the whispers of fear coalesce into a tangible being. Each time a human trembles in the dark, a piece of their terror feeds the Bayang-Bayang's power.

Bloodline

While not of a traditional demonic lineage, Bayang-Bayang can be considered a shadow demon. It's a manifestation of the darkest corners of the human psyche, drawing strength from negative emotions.

Powers

Bayang-Bayang's primary power is its ability to manipulate shadows. It can twist and contort darkness into grotesque forms, creating illusions and illusions to frighten its victims. It can also drain the vitality from those who are afraid, leaving them weak and vulnerable.

Notable Events

• During the reign of the Sultanate of Demak, Bayang-Bayang was said to haunt the palace, driving the royal family into a state of terror. Only the bravest warriors, armed with light and faith, could dispel the shadow demon.
• In the 19th century, a wave of disappearances plagued the villages near the Mount Merapi volcano. Locals blamed the Bayang-Bayang, believing it was stealing children who strayed too close to the mountain's shadow.
