jiangshi
A Chinese undead. Often called a "Chinese hopping vampire".
They drain people's life energy, hence the "vampire" denomination, although they are more similar in concept to Western zombies.
They usually have fulu or ofuda (strips of paper) stuck to their foreheads. Modern iterations are often seen wearing a rimmed round hat known as a qingdai guanmao, referencing how Chinese officials under the Qing Empire were viewed as bloodthirsty creatures with little regard for humanity.
Some common depictions are Qiqi, Bongun, Munak, Hsien-ko and Miyako Yoshika.
