Rakshasa (Sanskrit: राक्षसः) is one of the demon in the mythological being in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Rakshasas are also called man-eaters. According to the Ramayana, Rakshasas were created from Brahma's foot. Hinduism maintains that the Rakshasas were particularly wicked humans in previous incarnations and notorious for disturbing sacrifices, desecrating graves, harassing priests, possessing human beings, and so on. Their fingernails are venomous, and they feed on human flesh and spoiled food. They are shapechangers, illusionists, and magicians.
羅剎（梵語：राक्षस）印度神話和宗教體系中一種主要的魔怪。在當地信仰中，阿修羅是與天神為敵，而羅剎則主要侵擾人類。羅剎是夜間活動的怪物，侵襲人類，妨礙祭祀。他們被形容為像貓頭鷹、兀鷲或狼一樣捕食人；一些神話學者認為早期吠陀里描寫的羅剎實際是暗指雅利安人入侵印度時遇到的土著民族。雅利安人入侵後，對一切認為不好的事物都以其敵人的名字相稱，於是羅剎便成為惡魔的名字。
