Portrayal
He executes judgment on those who can't keep their word and the Houngan or Mambo who can't keep the Voodoo secrets from the uninitiated ones. Lenglensou is feared and respected by all. He almost never comes in possession, but when he does must be served correctly, otherwise the Houngan or the Mambo will be cruelly punished.
When Lenglensou comes in possession he only eats glasses, razor blades and drinks warm bull blood. His color is red and the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the St Catholic image uses to represent this wild spirit. He likes sharp objects such as knives, scissors, barbed wire, razor blades; everything that tear the flesh.
