He also have or have not the other characteristics that I mentioned earlier.
RAKSASA OR RAKSASI: (female) in Hindu mythology is a type of demon or goblin; they have the power to change their shape at will and can appear as animals, as monsters and the female as a beautiful women. They are most powerful in the evening during the dark period of the new moon, but they are dispelled by the rising sun, sort of like a combination of a werewolf and a vampire.
Raksasas are demons with strongly colored complexions, bulging eyes and wide-opened mouths, which display rows of glittering teeth.

After seeing your post Erik, I had a look at the Mahabharata last night (Indian version) in as Bima is concerned and noted Bima's weapon is a mace (club) and he's known to have termimated raksasas and married a sister of one after she appeared as an attractive woman...Interesting!
