An evil spirit, usually female, in Jewish demonology. She takes possession of men against their will in order to give birth to children from them.

It was believed that she causes damage to babies, kidnaps (drinks the blood of newborns and sucks the brain out of bones) and replaces them. The spoilage of women in labor and infertility of women were also attributed to her.
