Origins
The adze are creatures originally from African mythology, specifically the Ewe from Togo and Ghana.
Appearance
They tend to look like normal people who can change into a firefly at will.
Behavior
The adze would possess people in various situations. These situations include: a woman with a brother (especially if the brother and his children were better off than they), an old person (then the young would start dying and the old were staying alive), and a poor person (especially if they hated/envied the rich).
Abilities
The adze, when in human form, can possess people. In firefly form, they can slip into houses and suck a person's blood. Those that the adze feeds from will get sick and die.
