Description
A creature from the folklore of the north-west of Belarus. This is a forest demoness (possibly a subspecies of a mermaid) in the guise of a beautiful girl with long hair, who fascinated young men and led them into the thicket.
She "takes away the life force from men with tenderness and caresses." She is also a werewolf (turns into a swan).
