Lamia

Monsters that have the upper half of a beautiful human woman and the lower half of a long snake. Lamia may live in villages where their own kind gather, or slip into human villages, but basically most of them act independently. They are highly intelligent, with a snake-like cunning and persistence, and it's said that they always obtain whatever human they have their eyes on. They lurk in the shadows, concealing their serpentine lower half, while showing off their beautiful upper half to lure person that happen to be passing by. When the person approaches them, they'll swiftly wind their long lower body around them, binding them and robbing their body of freedom, as they claim the person as their's.
