The preta of Indian religion, ghosts afflicted by endless hunger and thirst as a result of past greed, found in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology and honoured in rites of feeding. An entry belongs here when its article describes a being of this kind. The group page lists related creatures together so that a reader can compare how one kind of being appears across cultures and stories. Entries are placed by what their own article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group that its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
