Ma Ga (Vietnam)

Ma ga, also known as “chicken demons” or “chicken ghosts,” are demons that some people willingly invite into their homes to get supernatural protection. Each ma ga appears as a formless lump of gooey flesh, roughly the size of a chicken. Typically, it is kept in a large pot placed on an altar in a dark, quiet corner of the house. Ma ga are called chicken demons because they love devouring chickens. To keep a ma ga at home, its keeper must feed it either chicken blood or a whole chicken once a month.
