A Toyol or Tuyul is a mythical spirit in Malay mythology of South-East Asia (notably Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore).

It is sometimes called the “Kwee Kia” in Hokkien. In Thailand, they are called Koman-tong (Male) and Koman-lay (Female). In Philippines they have a similar child spirit called the “tiyanak”. InCambodia they are called “Cohen Kroh”. In South Korea called “Do Yeol”. It is a small child spirit invoked by a dukun (Indonesian shaman) or pawang (Malay witch doctor) from a dead humanfetus using black magic.

Nice one you studied your lore. Yes we do have a similar version called the tiyanak. Those things are scary shit mind you... but I love the way you did your A to Z challenge.

:O I remember being so scared of tuyul!! Lots of people in Indonesia say that it's a green little kid who runs around naked or something hahaha. I was really scared of it, especially in theatres where lots of people say that these tuyuls run around in between the seats/aisles and grab your legs when you're not looking and drag you into god knows what ಠ_ಠ
