An illustration of Churel, a female ghost with sagging breasts and backward-facing feet

Churel are vengeful ghosts of women who died sudden and unnatural deaths. In their true form, churel are hideous hags with long disheveled hair and saggy breasts. Their tongues are said to be unnaturally long and pitch-black. However, they can appear as attractive women to lure unsuspecting men. One consistent physical trait they have, regardless of their appearance, is their backward-facing feet, a feature that they cannot change with their power.
