History

A cicada spirit that originated in the forests of Malaysia and are very rare in America. They emerge from underground around the time of the spring equinox and enter humans through the mouth, so they can mate and breed. The hosts die and the next generation is born and remains underground for 27 years until the cycle starts again.

In Gunnison, Colorado the cycle of bisaan mating became an urban legend known as "the chitters." According to Etta Day, during spring equinox people in town would go nuts they would be so consumed with lust, that there eyes would glow like green emeralds, and have orgies in the woods, and then disappear, never to be heard from again. The "chitters" moniker came from the the buzzing and clicking sounds that could be heard from the bisaan communicating.

Characteristics

When a bisaan possesses a human, the hosts will take on a more pale appearance, produce pointed thorn-like teeth and green glowing eyes. Bisaans communicate through a buzzing/clicking sound, especially to find a mate. Eventually after mating, the females will lay eggs and the genitalia of the possessed will disappear, whether they are male or female.
