Segben (Ghoul)The Ghoulish Segben is a creature that transforms into an insect and eats human corpses.
It is a corpse-eating being that has an unbearable odor. Whenever it walks, its large ears flaps and the hips are higher that its shoulders. The Segben transforms into a locust or a frog that goes to houses where there is a human who is about to die. It sticks on a wall to check if a person is already dead. They hasten the death of a person by biting the shadow of the person about to die. Then they would steal the dead body to eat. They fear very thick or heavy smoke, spices and knives being sharpened. |
