The characters come alive in the film by Studio Eeksaurus
Ghouls of Malayalam folklore – eenam pechi, arukola, kuttichaathan, aana marutha, neet arukola and thendan come alive in the animated Malayalam short film, Kandittund (Seen It!) by Studio Eeksaurus released on YouTube.
From Pazhumadathil Narayana Panicker - Keshava Panicker’s tales we ‘learn’ that eenam pechi ventures out at precisely 2.30 am, aana marutha is a one-and-a-half foot elephant-like creature, arukola is a faceless shadow that touches neither sky nor earth, thendan has ‘protruding eyes’ that resemble areca nuts...Panicker has ‘seen’ most of these except arukola, which you cannot look at and kuttichaathan, who he has ‘seen’ only idols of. Thendan, he has seen only once.
