Glaistigs

These female water sprites have the faces and torsos of beautiful and seductive women and the hairy horses and cloven hooves of goats, which they hide beneath their long, green, embroidered gowns and cloaks. The glaistig lures a man to dance with her by a highland loch before feeding on his blood. However, she has a kinder side and loves music, as well as sometimes helping children, old women or cattle tending farmers.
