*Reads* I...can't. Partly because I don't know what/who I am looking for...one of them...nope, I have no clue (thought Kida was familiar for a moment)
Sorry...


*Finishes digging a hole to China* I found another Archive!
(Something I was listening to had several references to "ancient curses" and I wanted to find the mythos and basis for them...namely, a tale about how a venomous demon was created by sealing a host of envenomed creatures in a jar and waiting for them to kill/eat (and in theory concentrate the venom)into one final creature, known as Gu (poison) or Jincan, or "the golden silkworm." It is said that if one sacrificed to it, it would give riches (or you can let it kill you instead). It is alternatively a potent death curse.

The theory holds with some creatures (Poison Dart Frog is believed to become toxic from its environment/food) and bacteria (this is a method used to create bacteria that fight other deadly bacteria)...but I would like to make the obvious disclaimer: Don't try this at home, kiddies. xD
