(LOAN-go)
"The Ashanti and Asanbosam people of Africa believe that when a person who used magic in life dies, he will become a vampiric revenant.'
Varieties of Vampires uses the name "Asanbosam" for a vampire that looks normal except for a pair of hooks instead of feet. This version can charm and call forth leopards and tigers. It can only be destroyed by a holy man.
