Pijavica
The pijavica, or 'leech', is a vampire-type revenant of the Slovene and Croatian lands. A sinful life, above all incest, was believed to produce one. It is destroyed by fire or laid by exorcism in its grave. The name records the blood-drinking that distinguishes Balkan walking dead from their northern counterparts.1
