3. Cindaku
This is a legend from a village called Kerinci in Sumatra. From the legend, some humans turned into humanoid tigers similar to werewolves.
Interestingly, these Cindaku are not said to be cursed like the werewolves who only transform because of a full moon. Their transformation only works if they are in Kerinci and it is voluntarily.
But not all people from Kerinci are Cindaku. Only those with the right bloodline can become one. Those who become a Cindaku are known to be the village guardian. Some believe that the Cindaku still exists but because of modernisation they become redundant. Some might have also migrated, thus losing their powers to transform.
