The Krasue (Burong Sukapat)
Lore Overview
Burong Sukapat dreamed of stardom, her voice swelling with passion in the rehearsal halls of Thailand. Yet no matter how hard she tried, she remained an understudy, eclipsed by brighter stars. Desperate to shine, she accepted a strange gift from a rival singer—an elixir that promised both talent and fame. Burong drank deeply, never suspecting the horror it would awaken.
Her voice blossomed, her auditions captivated directors, but her body began to betray her. Blood filled her throat, her skin burned, and each night she awoke to slaughter she could not remember. Chickens torn apart, blood on her hands, and soon—her dearest friend disemboweled in her own bed.
Burong’s torment reached its peak when her body split, her head tearing free with entrails trailing behind. Transformed into a Krasue, she became a ravenous spirit of hunger, feeding on flesh while her mortal life flourished under the spotlight. Onstage, she was a star; in the dark, a monster.
But fame was never enough. Her hunger grew insatiable, until the fog rolled in, carrying the promise of endless flesh hung on hooks and prey that could never truly escape. The Entity had found a new singer, one whose songs were drowned in screams.
