Ro-lang

A ro-langs (Tibetan: རོ་ལང) is a zombie-like creature from Tibetan folklore. Ro is the word for corpse and Langs is the perfect tense of "to rise up", so Ro-Langs literally means "a risen corpse". A ro-langs is usually created by a gdon spirit, or a sorcerer.[1] A ro-langs cannot speak or bend over, it signals its victims by wagging its tongue back and forth. They can not bend any joints, which makes them walk with a stiff-armed lurch. In regions of Tibet there are low doorways to keep the ro-langs out.

Several modern day sightings have been reported by tourists in Tibet. When asked the tour guides simply reply " it is just a ro-lang and we are safe as long as we ignore it" .

The entrance to the legendary kingdom of Shambhala is said to guarded by a group of these creatures.

There are two categories of ro-langs, tantric and Demonic. Definitely an interesting rabbit hole to go down for any occultist and further research is highly recommended.
