The thayé (Burmese: သရဲ), also spelt 'Tasei' (တစ္ဆေ) is part of Burmese mythology. They are once evil people condemned to be disembodied spirits which can appear as tall dark people with huge ears, long tongues and tusklike teeth. They enter town at noon or by dark and usually cause minor illness. The creature is said have many faces and bodies. An example of this is a pregnant ghost with a fat white body and big ears.
