Creatures from HELLas

In this category you will have to guess if the creature we present you is from a horror movie or from the ancient Greek mythology! Enjoy!

Strix

Let me introduce to you a not so famous kind of creature, the strix. You will have to guess if it comes from the ancient Greek mythology or from a vampire story...

The strix is a kind of daemon, half a woman, half a bird. Their name means “night bird”. They have a woman body with birds' wings and birds' legs with long talons. Their eyes are yellow and round and they are screaming loudly during the night.

Or is it a creature of the Greek mythology?
