In one Malaysian village, there was a young man named Meon who was very lazy and couldn't hold down a steady job. He was also addicted to gambling. He lived with his wife and daughter, and has a hard time providing for them because of his laziness and his gambling. One day, he was searching through his dead grandfather's possessions when he came across a dusty old suitcase. Upon opening it, he found it contained what looked like the withered corpse of a baby. Suddenly, to his horror, the baby opened its red eyes and began speaking to him. He realized that it was a Toyol. "Thank you for releasing me," said the Toyol. "But there are... conditions. I can obey your wishes and give you power. But... I must eat..." The young man sent the Toyol out to creep around the village at night, stealing the possessions of his neighbors. As time went on, Meon became wealthy and nobody suspected where his money came from. However, the Toyol began making more and more demands. Meon realized that it wanted a new mother. The Toyol demanded that he be allowed to breastfeed from Meon's wife and teenage daughter, sucking blood instead of milk. Meon sent his wife and daughter away to keep them safe and when the Toyol discovered this deception, it flew into a rage. The Toyol attacked Meon and sucked every drop of blood from his body until he was nothing more than a withered and decomposed corpse.
