Baobhan sith

The baobhan sith (literally "fairy witch" or "fairy hag" in Scottish Gaelic) is a female fairy in the folklore of the Scottish Highlands, though they also share certain characteristics in common with the succubus.[1] They appear as beautiful women who seduce their victims before attacking them and killing them.[1]
