Question
An artist’s apprentice blames one of these beings for alterations to Murillo’s paintings in an anonymous story often titled for them but originally called “The Unknown Painter.” As evidence of the existence of these beings, William Seabrook cited Article 246 of their homeland’s criminal code in his travelogue The Magic Island. Feeding these beings salt will restore them to their original form, so that they are no longer barred from entry into (*) lan Guinée. Bizango societies are implicated in the creation of these beings, which involves the removal of ti bon ange (“tee bone onzh”). A bokor used a concoction including tetrodotoxin from pufferfish to make Clairvius Narcisse into one of these beings, per Wade Davis’s account in his book The Serpent and the Rainbow. For 10 points, name these mindless, undead beings from the folklore of Haiti. ■END■
