Field Team 42: Paranormal Responders
A vetala has two drives, a physical one and a psychological one, much like we living humans have both physical needs and psychological ones. Physically, a vetala seeks the physical pleasure of drinking human blood. That’s the reason it’s analogized so much as the Hindu version of what in the West is called a vampire. Psychologically, it wants to test us, us humans, to test us in moral and ethical dilemmas, to test our survival instincts, to test our intelligence levels, etc. It has a sick and sadistic curiosity about us. So, it wants to consume our blood, but, like a cat, it wants to play with its food first.
