Info
The Vetala possesses a dark hunger: not for flesh, but for memories. It has a twisted and malevolent intelligence, capable of draining cherished memories from the minds of the living.


This horrifying ability makes it a coveted target for necromancers and witches who seek to harness its spirit and access those memories for their own dark ends.
