Lore
The Soucouyant is a fearsome skin-shedding vampire in Trinidadian and Tobagonian folklore, an elderly woman who discards her skin at night to become a blazing fireball that sucks blood. Warded by scattering rice or salt (which she must count), or salting her shed skin to prevent re-entry, she embodies nocturnal dread and clever folk protections.
