Churel - India, China and Bangladesh

The Churel is mostly described as extremely ugly and hideous but she has the power to shape-shift and disguise herself as a beautiful woman to lure men to the mountains where she either kills them or sucks up their virility, turning them into old men.

The River Mumma, who's duty it is to protect the bodies of water and rivers throughout Jamaica, all the fish are her children, it is said that she can be found sitting on the rocks combing her hair with a golden comb, it is dangerous to approach her or even look at her, as this will put you into a trance-like state, and she will grab you by the heels and pull you underwater, if you try to catch her, the fish will disappear and the river will run dry. She is associated with the Jamaican Folktale "The River Mumma and the Golden Table" this table was left by the Spanish, during their quest for gold many centuries ago, this table is made of solid gold and on the hottest days, at noon, the table will arise from the water, those who are greedy will seek to obtain the table by venturing into the water and try to claim it, if they touch it, the table will disappear and pull them to the bottom of the river, drowning them.

Among many the "Lady of the woods" is probably my favorite.
