Basara

A Basara (婆娑羅バサラ) is an evolved Impurity that has absorbed the powers from Exorcists by killing them. When they absorbed enough, they turn into a Basara regaining a human form and the human speech. Their ranking is based of their time of birth. The smaller the number, the older and stronger they are. There are eleven (twelve in the anime) Basara known, and each is powerful enough to challenge a Guardian and kill a mass of Impurities.

Appearance
Basara look a lot like human, but they still retain characteristics that distinguish them from humans. They have a dark skin color and the kuji-kiri on their torsos. Furthermore one eye will turn into an eye of a normal human, while the other will turn black, with a red pupil, and have cracks around it.
