Mélusine
Mélusine, a female spirit of fresh water, is often depicted as a woman with the lower body of a serpent or fish. She is said to have founded several noble families, including the House of Anjou and the House of Plantagenet. Her story combines several major legendary themes, such as the water nymph or mermaid, the earth being (terroir), the genius or guardian spirit of a location, the succubus who comes from the diabolical world to unite carnally with a man, or the banshee or harbinger of death.
