| ] | Lelembut -- Possessing Spirits | |
| Back to Spirits | The lelembut is
the possessing spirit, and is one of the most dreaded spirits in all of Indonesia. Many
are the stories of this cruel spirit who has caused sickness, suffering, and insanity in
it's victims, and entire villiages have been ravaged by this monster. The lelembut may be similar to the Possessing Entity (see Rifts Conversion Book One) but does have it's own distinctions. For one, it does not convert PPE to ISP, and also possesses magic spell abilities. However, the two beings are similar in that they are extremely cruel, enjoy suffering and the misfortune they cause, and are very dangerous indeed. Lelembuts can be encountered anywhere; thankfully, they are relatively rare. They are the only Indonesian spirit who actively and purposely possesses the living and doesn't generate it's own body for a physical anchor, nor does it form benevolent unions with humans. There are only three O.C.C.'s capable of removing a lelembut from a possessed person; the Dukun, Spirit Psychic, and Spiritualist. In the case of the Spiritualist, it usually involves fighting with the creature in the Spirit Realm, an area where few humans dare to tread. The Dukun can remove Lelembuts with relative ease. Alignment: Miscreant or Diabolic M.D.C.: 2D6x10+10 Horror Factor: 16, P.P.E. 4D6x10+100 Attributes: Like most energy beings, they generally don't possess attributes in energy form.

Natural Abilities: Naturally etheral, intangible, invisible, and untouchable as energy beings. Lelembuts are only vulnerable to Spirit Magic due to the fact that they are effectively in another dimension, even though thay may be visible to someone who can see the invisible!
