Suangi

No mythic origin narrative is recorded in the supplied sources. Ethnographically, the suangi concept functions as a category of social accusation and explanation: individuals (reported principally as men) are suspected of secretly harming others by extracting life — blood, organs, or the soul — and the label is applied within communities to make sense of unexplained illness and death. The category therefore appears to be more a social/diagnostic role within local moral cosmology than a mythic progenitor tale.

The supplied sources do not give a distinctive supernatural appearance for suangis; they are described as ordinary men who are suspected and accused of being witches. Outward appearance is therefore not presented as a reliable marker in the recorded materials — the suangi is primarily a social identity attached to a person accused of secret harmful acts rather than a visibly different species or form.

According to the available accounts, suangis are believed to attack people by eating their blood and/or internal organs, stuffing the emptied corpse with leaves and grass, and devouring the person's soul. Attacked persons may return home appearing 'zombified' or mysteriously ill. The sources describe these functions as beliefs held in local communities rather than independently verified phenomena.
