Eshap

In the epic of the Ingush and Chechens, an anthropomorphic monster (of indeterminate gender) with nine eyes, nine arms and legs guarding the entrance to the world of the dead.

He has a huge body, overgrown with long hair, covered with lice. With a hair torn from his beard, he is able to bind a person. Probably drinking blood.

Sometimes the Eshap appears in female form. In fairy tales, Eshap is a sorceress who sucks people's blood or devours them; that is, a kind of analogue of the Slavic baba yaga.
