abstract	User with this ability either is or can transform into a strix (Albanian: shtriga, Italian: strega; Romanian: strigoi, Polish: strzyga), a troubled soul of the dead rising from the grave, although some can be living people with certain magical abilities. They have the ability to transform into an animal (depending of the region), invisibility, and the propensity to drain the vitality of victims via blood loss. There are several types of strix, with varying abilities and appearances depending of the region they come from: Strix is the earliest and least known form, aside of being able to turn into owls and being omens of bad luck there isn't much more known about them. Shtriga is a vampiric witch in traditional Albanian folklore that sucks the blood of infants at night while they sleep, and then turns into a flying insect (traditionally a moth, fly or bee). Only the shtriga herself could cure those she had drained (often by spitting in their mouths), and those who were not cured inevitably sickened and died. They are often pictured as a woman with a hateful stare (sometimes wearing a cape) and a horribly disfigured face. Strigoi are from Romanian and divided into three types: * The strigoaică (singular feminine form) is a witch. * The strigoi viu (living strigoi) is a kind of sorcerer that steals the wealth of farmers (ie. wheat and milk), but can also stop the rain, dropping hail and cause death to men and cattle. * The strigoi mort (dead strigoi) is much more dangerous with ambiguous nature, being both human and demonic. They emerge from their grave, return to their family and behaves as they did in life, while weakening their relatives until they die in their turn.
