Pishachas (Sanskrit: पिशाच, Piśāca) are flesh-eating demons in the Buddhist and Hindu mythology. Legend describes them as the sons of either Krodha (figuratively "Anger") or as Dakṣa’s daughter Piśāca. They have been described to bulging veins and protruding, red eyes. They are believed to have their own languages, known as Paiśāci.
