Wutong Shen (五通神) or Wulang Shen (五郎神) are a group of five sinister deities from the southern region of China. Their cult began in the Tang Dynasty and are usually depicted as one-legged demons. By nature wanton and lascivious, the Wutong often disguised themselves as handsome gentlemen to seduce unsuspecting and vulnerable women. Women who were ravished or possessed by these creatures lost consciousness and endured painful fits and convulsions lasting for days, even weeks, which often brought them to the brink of death.
