MORE ON KUMAN-TONGS:
People kept toyol for theft, sabotage and other minor crimes.

Like the toyol, Kwee Kia can be used to steal, be it money or other things. It can also be used for minor supernatural threats to scare its owners’ enemies away.
It has very similar characteristics as the toyol.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TOYOL/KWEE KIA:
They will protect the owner, talk to him, accomplish tasks for him. Some toyols are tasked to find spirits of wandering children so that they can be made into toyols.

They do not like to be abandoned and will kill when provoked. They can kill by either slashing one& #39;s throat with their long claws or squeezing one& #39;s heart, amongst others.
They can pass through walls or even human bodies and see into the human body (hence some mediums use them to give medical advice).
They& #39;re known to take possession of their owner& #39;s body if they& #39;re hungry at night.
Due to their preference, the owners sometimes end up eating raw meat from their fridges in the middle of the night, without even knowing it. The eating of raw meat also makes the toyol stronger.

The owner has to feed it blood the 14th of each month (they seem very particular about their eating patterns. They will not touch something as disgusting as a sanitary pad).
They are used for finding information for their owners:
Giving their owners information at the gambling table but it is typically difficult because the casinos would usually have their own toyols guarding the place.

The casino would also have employed other spiritual masters to bless the place with gods so that outside toyols cannot enter. The owner would have better luck if he was playing with his friends or an unprotected place.
They can even help their owner (if male) to seduce women.
They can also turn against their owner, if there is a child on the way. It will become jealous, causing the owner to have bad luck, constantly losing things and even confusing the owner.

The Spiritual Master will teach you how to control it. There& #39;s few chants so that you can tell the toyol instructions such as to eat, do certain tasks etc. There is even a chant to the effect that it will “get beaten/caned” if it& #39;s not obedient.
In the event that the bottle/jar is broken, they will be stronger as they are now freed and there is nothing to restrain/control them. The owner will also be punished for breaking the bottle. The owner will then have to get the bottle replaced and get it refilled with corpse oil.
Based on an anecdote, a toyol confessed that it likes to peek into people& #39;s lives apart from the occasional distraction of playing with any toys found within houses. Simply put, toyol is quite harmless without a master, but it can turn to crime or mischief under the command.
After stealing, the only traces of its presence are its childlike footprints and fingerprints found at the crime scene if it happens to have dust on its hands and feet. Otherwise, people would not suspect that a toyol had raided their premises.
ENCOUNTERS OF TOYOLS:
Do you hear the sound of marbles bouncing coming from the unit above you?
The last time you checked, the neighbour upstairs doesn’t play with marbles. Or worse still, the unit upstairs is empty.
It could be a “Toyol” at work.

ENCOUNTERS OF KUMANTONG:
A personal experience from my Aunt!
She was at a friend& #39;s house when she noticed her friend& #39;s daughter talking and playing with & #39;someone& #39;.
Her child was constantly running around and laughing alone.
Awhile later her friend told her about the Kumantong.
