Well, I vote for the Chang! ... sorry spider people... maybe I'll make it up to y'all some time.

For an idea - Wikipedia says that the ghosts of people killed by tigers become malevolent spirits that work to make sure tigers kill more humans. They also have the ability to turn people into weretigers.

Sooo... if you'll pardon the intrusion of another writer, how about a way to bridge the Eastern/Western gap? Family on a trip to China (if you want to keep the mythologies to their roots). The family is celebrating their daughter's graduation from high school or entrance into college (to keep it age appropriate if you so choose). The Chang takes notice of her when she ... dunno - hmmm... Actually... a scene at a zoo... Large tiger is sleeping in the background (those bastards are always hiding and sleeping whenever I go to the zoo!) but the Chang takes notice of the girl? Perhaps she's cut herself earlier or done something slightly sinful or something to invite in a spirit? However you want to dice that part of the rules of your world. The tiger wakes and slowly stalks to the glace, eyes locked on the girl until its at the glass wall. She's drawn to it, hypnotized, stalks to the glass, presses her hand against the wall. Breathing turns ragged, deep, catching at the back of her throat until it's a rumble with each breath. Pain shoots through her hand. Anger lances into her. At being caged. Stared at. Held back. Forever restrained while prey stands on the other side of the glass. The joints in her fingers flare. Her hand seizes painfully. Claws begin to slice through her skin. She yowl quietly in sympathy to the rage echoing from the tiger. Her fingers drag down the glass, cutting grooves in the pane. Blood drips from her gums. Hunger. So much hunger. Not for the meat they toss to her. Fresh meat, steaming and bloody. Her teeth ache so badly.

And then a hand on her shoulder and the pain recedes. She blinks, looking away at a crowd around her. Her parents are worried. She smells their fear but it fades quickly with the hunger tearing at her belly.

Eventually they leave and the spirit follows, eager to find an opportunity to take her completely until there's no coming back from it.

Just a, uhh, thought.
