Ajatar (also spelled Aiätär, Ajattara or Aijotar) - an evil female spirit from Finnish folklore. She lives in the forest located in the mountains Pohjola (Pohjola). She is described as having "hair to toe and whose Breasts hang down to her knees."

She spreads disease and pestilence. Closely associated with serpents and often depicted in contemporary art in the form of a dragon or half-human, half snake.

The word may be derived from the Finnish word ajaa ("chase" or "news"). Here it may be translated as "woman-chaser".

This forest spirit is also known under the name "forest devil", and is sometimes called the mother of the devil. It is believed that it spreads disease and pestilence, anyone who looks at her gets sick.
