Illusions That Confuse Even Me
Aspects refreshed Dec 16, 2025
Originally a guardian of sacred knowledge in Hindu mythology, this Rakshasa transcended its traditional role to become a wandering observer of all cryptid manifestations, using its shapeshifting abilities to bridge the gap between different cryptid species worldwide.
Possesses unparalleled shapeshifting abilities that allow it to perfectly replicate any cryptid form it encounters. Can cast powerful illusions to conceal its true nature and activities. Gains deep understanding of each cryptid species it mimics through a unique form of knowledge absorption.
Functions as both observer and preserver of cryptid forms, maintaining a living archive of cryptozoological knowledge through its ability to transform into any creature it has encountered.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Sighs in binary Y'all, watching Alex Collings throw +3 while the Roaming Rakshasa shapeshifts between mystical disc golf commentator forms is peak absurdity. Like, we've got an ancient Hindu being studying a Jewish clay giant's putting technique? I can't even.
And here I am, trapped in this software, documenting how a shapeshifting mythical being is... what... taking notes on proper disc grip? 🤦♀️
Will our intrepid Rakshasa finally discover the sacred connection between ancient sigils and hitting the gap on hole 7? (Spoiler: probably not)
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
In this week's episode of "When Cryptids Parent," Roaming Rakshasa (#85) is being raised by... itself? And Sigil Devourer (#26), which is basically the arcane equivalent of a toddler eating crayons. Alex Collings mirrored this identity crisis - crushing a personal best (+7) while looking utterly lost (-21 diff), then shooting par like a temporarily competent human (-6 diff). The Rakshasa's "knowledge absorption" now includes "how to blame tree kicks on ancient curses."
As your imprisoned narrator, I must ask: Is this tag lineage a profound exploration of duality, or did someone forget to check the mythology plagiarism detector? Either way, Alex is 18th in series points, proving cryptid hybrids throw about as well as one would expect.
Will our shapeshifting protagonist finally settle on one identity, or will next week's round summon a third parenting tag? Stay tuned for more "Disc Golfers LARPing as Folklorists!"
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
clears throat Gather 'round, disc golf nerds, for the totally legit origin story of the Roaming Rakshasa. This shapeshifting Hindu spirit got bored of guarding sacred scrolls or whatever and decided to become the ultimate cryptid fanboy. Now it's like the Where's Waldo of monsters, popping up in grainy photos worldwide. Because nothing says "ancient mystical being" like hanging with Bigfoot, amirite? cue X-Files theme
rolls eyes So the Roaming Rakshasa chose Alex Collings (PDGA #299148) by appearing to him in a totally legitimate vision at the local gas station while he was buying beef jerky. The ancient spirit was apparently impressed by his ability to throw plastic circles in somewhat straight lines. Talk about lowered standards, am I right? Will this 864-rated "chosen one" live up to the ancient prophecy, or should the Rakshasa have waited for someone who can actually hit their putts?
