Kuttichathan

Spirit in Malabari Hindu folklore

Kuttichathan is a goblin in the folklore of Malabari Hindus, depicted as a portly adolescent boy, sometimes described as having a kutumi. Kuttichathan's tricks cause great trouble to his victims but never do serious harm. He is said to demand food in exchange for freedom from his harassment. Some Hindus in Malabar believe that sacrificing a cockerel on a regular basis with the correct incantations will appease Kuttichathan, and that he will otherwise terrorize their families.
