“Yakkhini Muk Sese” (The Horse-Faced Yakshini) is a traditional Khmer folktale about a terrifying female spirit (yakshini) who has the face of a horse. She is known for disguising herself as a normal woman to trick people, especially travelers or young men.
In the story, she uses her beauty or human appearance to gain trust, then reveals her true monstrous form to harm or devour her victims. The tale often follows a brave or clever character who discovers her secret and manages to escape or defeat her.
