Lakhe, also known as Majipa Lakhe, are flesh-eating demons in Hindu, Buddhist and Nepalese mythology. According to their myth, several Lakhe invade an area called Majipa (in Basantapur, Kathmandu). One of them falls in love with a girl and starts visiting her in the disguise of a human until he is discovered by local authorities and captured. In exchange for living with the girl, he swears to never again eat human flesh and to protect the children of Majipa.
"Origin: Nepal. A man-eating demon from Newar folklore. It usually lives in the mountains, but periodically runs through villages. As it does so, it kidnaps anyone who happens to be outside at the time."
