Leftists

Etymologically, the word Aji means knowledge and Wegig (from the word begig) means a trait that likes to annoy other people. Because of its negative nature, Leak is also often called Ngiwa.

In the Durganing Purwa ejection it is stated that there are around 35 types of Leak, including Leak Pemoroan, Leak Nengkleng to Leak Ugig, all of which connote the badness of adherents of Leak science.

Leak can fly looking for pregnant women, and then suck the blood of babies who are still in the womb.

Of the many types, there are three well-known Leaks, one male and two female.
