Belu are Burmese rakshasa from ancient Burmese legend. They are incredibly strong, intelligent, and know magic - some capable of shape shifting. There are two types of belu: pan-kike belu, and panswe belu.
Pan-kike belu have straight fangs and are malevolent man-eaters.
Panswe (flower biter) belu, on the other hand, are benevolent beings that feast on flowers and fruit, and are distinguished from pan-kike belu by curved or hooked fangs.
