In Kerala, a Yakshi is a succubus who lives in palm trees. Typically in stories, Yakshis take the form of beautiful young ladies pretending to be scared and ask their victims to accompany them home. Once they reach the “home”, the Yakshi asks if the guy wants to share a paan with them (which were the code words for having sex that time apparently) and once the dude enters the house, the yakshi kills them.
Their male counterparts are Gandharvans, who are the reason women were advised to sleep with underwear on as protection.
I’ve never heard of these monsters before wow that’s creepy af.
