Rangda is the Queen of cannibalistic witches who practice black magic and eat corpses, called the Leyaks. In dances, she is usually portrayed as a nearly naked woman with huge breasts, long white hair, claw-like nails. Her mask has large eyes, tusks like a boar and a long tongue.

According to legend, Rangda was once a Balinese queen who was exiled for practicing black magic on her husband’s second wife. When the king died, Rangda takes revenge by bringing a plague that kills half the population.
