Khyāh (Nepal Bhasa:𑐏𑑂𑐫𑐵𑑅) (alternative spellings Khyā, Khyāk) (ख्याक) is a mythical humanoid creature in Newari folklore. It is depicted as a fat, hairy and short ape-like creature. Khyahs appear in children's stories popular in Newar society. A friendly Khyah fills the home with goodness while bad ones bring trouble. A white Khyah is believed to bring good luck while a black one can create problems. Encountering a Khyah can make one ill. Khyahs are said to tickle their victims to death.
