ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Soul eater (folklore)

Okay kiddo, have you heard about Soul Eater in folklore? No? Don't worry, I'll explain it to you.

In some cultures, people believe that there are creatures known as Soul Eaters that can take away a person's soul. These creatures are said to be very scary and dangerous.

But what is a soul, you may ask? Well, many people believe that everyone has a soul - it's kind of like a special part of us that makes us who we are. It can't be seen or touched, but it's what makes us feel happy, sad, and everything in between.

Now, back to the Soul Eaters. These creatures are said to be able to take a person's soul away if they're not careful. Some stories say that they target people who are weak or unhappy.

But don't worry, because Soul Eaters don't really exist. They're just part of stories that people tell to scare each other or to explain things that they don't understand. So you don't have to be afraid of them.

And remember, your soul is safe and sound inside you, and no one can take it away. Isn't that pretty cool?
