Legend[]

Asanbosam is a species of vampire from western Africa (Ashanti Empire, Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo). There are males, females, and children. They live in deep forests with humanoid-like appearances but with teeth of iron and hook-shaped projections on the legs. With the legs, they hunt humans and carry up on trees and suck bloods from thumbs.

  • Mizuki's design of Asasabosam may be based on indigenous artworks by Maori People of New Zealand.
