Baobhan sith
A baobhan sith (pronounced ''baa'-van shee'') is a type of blood-sucking female fairy in Scottish mythology, similar to the banshee or leanan sídhe. Also known as "the White Women of the Scottish Highlands," they are beautiful seductresses who prey on young travelers by night.
==Description and attributes==
The baobhan sith bears similarities to both the faeries of its native Scotland and the vampires of other regions. It has the form of a woman of supernatural beauty wearing a green or white dress. Like faeries, the baobhan sith used their enchanting appearance to lure unwary travelers into secluded areas of the counryside. The baobhan sith would then invite the men to dance before attacking when their victims were off guard. They would then use their extremely sharp talons to puncture the neck. Using these holes the baobhan sith would suck the blood or, in older versions of the tale, the life force or even sexual potency from the victim. As with many vampires, the baobhan sith couldn't tolerate daylight and would return to their graves before sunrise. In medieval versions of the tale, they are often depicted with cloven hooves, which they keep hidden under the dress. They are portrayed as being unaccountably afraid of horses.
