<h2 id="glaistig">Glaistig</h2>

Feminine version of the fauns, this creature belongs to the fantastical traditions of the British Isles.

She is a beautiful woman with long hair, but whose lower half (hidden beneath a green dress) takes the form of a goat. Highly seductive, she makes men fall in love with her and then sucks their blood, in the manner of a **vampire**. Nevertheless, she protects children and the elderly, ensuring that they want for nothing.
