Pricollci

By Crusader1307

 From Romanian myth, The Pricolici is akin to both Werewolf and to some extent Vampire. Resembling a large human-like wolf, they drink the blood of both the dead and living. They will exhume fresh corpses and drain them. If they cannot find a corpse a living person will do! It is said that evil men (in life) upon their death, will return as Pricolici. They are also drawn to tormenting their human family (especially their Mothers). Capable of retaining human form (during the day), is also a way of capturing and killing The Pricolici. IF they venture into a Church, a specially made bone Cross (blessed during Easter), such a symbol can be placed on the Church door. The Pricolici cannot exit the Church. They can be then taken and killed (normally by decapitation). Another Talisman made is that of a basic silver coin (dipped in the blood of a Pricolici). Worn as a necklace, a Pricolici cannot attack you.
