She is a bloodsucking shape shifter. By day, she appears as an old woman, and at night, she peels off her wrinkled skin and changes into a ball of fire and flies around searching for her victim. She can enter the home of her victim via any size hole (cracks in the wall, a keyhole, etc). Soucouyants suck blood from their sleeping victims, leaving blue-black marks on their arms/legs/other soft body parts, in the morning. If she sucks too much of the victim's blood, they will either die, or become a soucouyant as well (only if the victim is female). If the victim dies, the soucouyant will steal their skin to use as another disguise.

The soucouyant is a practitioner of black magic. It is said she once made a deal with the devil himself to gain great powers like the ability to shapeshift and to cast spells on humans to turn them into animals. Her payment for these powers is the blood she sucks from her victims. She trades these with either the devil himself, of with one of his demons who resides in silk cotton trees. If the soucouyant is unable to return to her home and put on her skin before dawn breaks, she will be not be able to get back into her skin.

They say if you suspect someone to be a soucouyant, you must dump a bag of rice at the crossroads of the village, or around her house. She will be obligated to count all of it, grain by grain, and will not be able to return inside her skin before day break and she will be caught in the act.

To destroy her you must place salt in her skin so that it shrinks and she is unable to put it back on and will die.

To protect your home from a soucouyant, you should put salt at your door and place a broom beside it upside down.
