A pregnant human that has been sired (transformed into a vampire) during or immediately before childbirth when a pontianak or an undead offspring is produced.

The langsuyar has strong claw-like fingernails that she uses to disembowel her victims. She then offers the intestines to her baby who happily sucks out the blood and other fluids.

They prefer live prey and feed mainly on small human children. If their favorite prey is not available they will attack other small animals or even suck on rotting carcasses.

Mother and child communicate using hisses, whistles, screeches, and bird-like screams. The child never develops human speech.

Since neither creature is able to exist for long without the other, it is possible to destroy them both by destroying just one or by simply separating them for a period of time.

A langsuyar can only give birth to the child that it carried as a human. It cannot become pregnant and give birth a second time.

Also known as langsuir, langsuior, or langhui.
