You can see one in the Netflix series "Invisible city", plus another couple dozen Brazilian folklore demons. Highly recommendable btw

Come on, people of Brazil! You gotta have something scarier than a dude with backward feets as your must famous and ¿scariest? demon legend thingy.

How about basically the same thing, but it's a naked kid smoking a cigar? Watch out! He's got second hand smoke!

Much better! The weirder the folklore demon the better. Tho It's still a far cry from south east Asia folklore. The Penanggalan is one of my favorites.
