Description

The Lamia is a serpentine creature from Greece. It takes the form of a beautiful woman in order to seduce men. It then reveals itself and rips out their hearts and squeezes the juices out of them. By some accounts, her chimeric form is hideous, but other writers seem to have been mesmerized by her form, even describing her scales as precious gems and the coils of her body as graceful. Aside from her potent beauty, Lamia’s abilities vary wildly from story to story. Overall, her most common skills are shape-shifting, predicting the future, and witchcraft.
