Resentment of the Puerpera · Night-Crying Child-Snatching Ghost Chariot
A nine-headed night bird formed from the resentment of a woman who died in childbirth. With feathers, it is a bird; without feathers, it becomes a woman. At night, it snatches human infants to suck their blood and essence.
Classical Origins and the Grand Void Yin Evil
In the ancient shamanistic culture of the Chu region, pregnant women who died in childbirth were considered fierce vengeful spirits. Their souls, unable to return to the underworld, transformed into strange birds. In the night sky, they emit cries like those of infants, searching for human babies to take away.
