Chedipe (literally "prostitute"[1]) is a witch-vampire in the folklore of the region around the Godavari River in India.
[2] Women who die an unnatural death, such as in childbirth or by suicide, and prostitutes may become chedipes.
[1][5] In another narrative, she is described as returning repeatedly before the victim can recover from the blood and energy loss, thus weakening him further.
The chedipe may also inflict wounds on the skin and insert sticks in the body of the man, which will burn like fire.
[5] Sometimes, the chedipe undresses and turns into a tiger with one human leg and attacks men in the forest.
