In the Greek Mythology Lamia was considered as one of the monstrous bogeys that used to terrify children and naïve people. It is said that the lamia was a creature that had the torso (Upper Part of the Body) of a women, however the lower body of the lamia was said to be part serpentine. She had a cannibal appetite for young children; she also had a very erotic appetite for men.

Lamia can also be referred to a mysterious creature in Bulgarian short stories and folk lore. The creature has several heads and these heads have a tendency to grow over and over again if sliced or cut. The Bulgarian lamia has a thirst for blood and it mainly indulges in killing the women. It is mainly found in caves or dark underground passages.
