This is similar to the Cihuateteo in that is also created when a woman dies in childbirth (rising after 40 days). If the child also dies it will rise as a Pontianak. To prevent either from rising methods identical to those used against Pontianak are performed.

GURPS Blood Types uses "Langsuir" in the "Glossary of Foreign Vampires" section but "Langsoir" in the sublisting under Civateteo
