Description I need to draw male guardians too...

A rakshasa is a demon or unrighteous spirit in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Rakshasas are also called cannibals.

According to the Ramayana, rakshasas were created from Brahma's foot; other sources claim they are descended from Pulastya, or from Khasa, or from Nirriti and Nirrita. Legend has it that many rakshasas were particularly wicked humans in previous incarnations. Rakshasas are notorious for disturbing sacrifices, desecrating graves, harassing priests, possessing human beings, and so on. Their fingernails are venomous, and they feed on human flesh and spoiled food. They are shapeshifters, illusionists and magicians. Ravana is said to be the king of rakshasas.

In Japan, the rakshasa is known as Rasetsu, and in Shingon is identified as the lord of demons (Rasetsuten) and guardian of the southwest. It is depicted as horse-headed.

The interesting thing about demons in Hinduism is some have good qualities and for some like Ravana, reason rather than pointless savagery. For instance, Ravana was once a divine being before his expulsion from heaven, but he was granted reentry by being either Vishnu's friend for seven incarnations or his enemy for three. So in effect, there was some plan to dying by Rama's hand. Other rakshasas I think also make sacrifices to the gods and Ravana's brother, Vibhishana, sided with Rama.

Nevertheless, this isn't a bad description of these demonic beings...
