Ro-langs
The ro-langs is the Tibetan walking corpse. One kind is raised deliberately by a tantric practitioner for occult ends; the other is a body hijacked by a demon and spreads its condition by touch, in stories where a whole community is infected in a night. It is stiff, mute and has to be physically broken to be stopped. The combination of contagion by contact and a mindless, lurching body makes it one of the closest folkloric matches for the modern film zombie.1
- low doorways, since it cannot stoop
- breaking the skin, drawing blood, cutting the flesh or breaking a bone, according to its type
- striking the single mole that is the only weak point of the 'mole' type
