The Kelthubilaz is commonly called a ''ghost child'' or ''[[demon]] child'' in folklore.  They are created by a [[Sayksumarahw]] successfully mating with a human. Often seen as aberrations of a dead or ghostly child, they are neither.  They are born without physical form, existing between the material plane and the [[Dark Aether|dark aether]].  They exist with incredible amounts of malice toward the living mortals and attach themselves to the maternal line of the mortal which helped create them.

They are mostly seen as ghosts, which require very little energy on the part of the Kelthubilaz.

The Kelthubilaz, often referred to as a ghost child or demon child in folklore, is a unique entity born from the union of a Sayksumarahw and a human. Contrary to their common depiction as apparitions of deceased or ghostly children, Kelthubilaz are distinct entities that exist without a physical form, residing in the interstice between the material plane and the dark aether.

Kelthubilaz harbor an intense malice towards living mortals, particularly those from the maternal lineage of the human who contributed to their creation. Their presence is often perceived in shadows, especially by young children, appearing as ordinary children with the exception of their glowing red-orange eyes. They can manifest as ghosts, a form that requires minimal energy for a Kelthubilaz. Their voices, when they choose to speak, resemble those of young children, typically feminine but not exclusively so.

Behavior

Kelthubilaz are characterized by their perpetual existence as malevolent and eternally bored children. To alleviate their boredom, they manipulate and influence the mortals around them, often resulting in chaotic and harmful pranks. They attach themselves to the maternal family line, transferring from mother to daughter, or to a son if no daughter is born. They thrive on the chaos they incite, particularly focusing on manipulating the life of a woman to reap the chaos they sow, with a special emphasis on the relationships within the family.

The Kelthubilaz is passed from mother to child as the child begins to reach maturity. Some children may be able to perceive the Kelthubilaz at a young age, with the entity often becoming an evil imaginary friend that manipulates the child to cause chaos in the mother's life. A Kelthubilaz typically remains dormant until a young woman either becomes pregnant or has a child herself, at which point they begin to feed on the chaos they create through increasingly strange and bizarre occurrences.

Attachment to Mortals

Kelthubilaz are almost exclusively focused on the maternal line in a family, regardless of whether they were sired by a human male. They can attach themselves to a male if no female is available, and they can also attach themselves to women not blood-related to their own family line if necessary. A young man with a Kelthubilaz attached to him may pass the entity to a spouse, especially if that spouse has children.
