About Mogwai

The word mogwai is the transliteration of the Cantonese word 魔鬼 meaning 'monster', 'evil spirit', 'devil' or 'demon'. The term mo derives from the Sanskrit māra (मार), meaning 'evil beings'. Examples include the yecha 夜叉 and the luocha 罗刹, both derived ultimately from Indian lore through the influence of Buddhism.
