Lore

A pishtaco is a mythological boogeyman from Peru, typically portrayed as an evil monster-like creature, or a white man. The pishtaco preys on the local Indians of the region, stealing their body fat as well slicing off body parts for other cannibalistic purposes.

In some parts of the Andes, the pishtaco is also known as kharisiri, or ñakaq.

A pishtaco is a parasitic monster that originates from Peru. Pishtacos survive by sucking out the fat of their victims, the act of feeding itself does not necessarily have to kill the victim, though fatalities will happen if a pishtaco does not have control and feeds on too much fat.
