Hungry Ghost! I got fascinated by the term after seeing it (on DN!) in the title of Gabor Mate's book about addiction. A search showed me the Buddhist/Japanese term "GaKi" 餓鬼 StarveSpirit. It's the word I was using in place of "brat" or rug rat.. Seemed a bit heavy after seeing the Kanji. Old science explained decomposition with images of shit-eating GaKi. "Buddhist science" might have been prophecy.
