Strzyga, an artistic vision by Filip Gutowski. Excerpt from The Sarmatian Bestiarium by Janek Sielicki
Strzyga (Polish pronunciation:[ˈstʂɨɡa], plural: strzygi, masculine: strzygoń) is usually a female demon in Slavic mythology, which stems from the mythological Strix of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece.[1] The demon is similar to a vampire,[2] and is predominantly found in Polish and Silesian folklore.
