It’s one of the coolest ideas in any mythology.
You become the monster.

Okay, I get this, but can we not “noble savage” our Native American cousins? “Disconnect from nature” is a common trope in a lot of cultural fables, not just those someone might think are more closely aligned with the world (whatever that means).

In China, they would called them a hungry ghost. A person with a bottomless pit stomach. That their hunger can never be satisfied. It could be money, sex, food, or anything excessively.
