Типа того. Только они скорее не мертвецы, а какие-то мутанты. И еще детей жрали.
The lamiai was named after Lamia, who was said to have been a Libyan queen. She was the daughter of Belus and Libya, and, as the story was told, was loved by Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. Hera, Zeus's wife, became jealous and took out her resentment by robbing Lamia of all her children who had been fathered by Zeus. Lamia retired to a cave from which, unable to strike at Hera, she took out her anger by killing offspring of human mothers, usually by sucking the blood out of the children. Her actions led to her transformation into a hideous beast. (The story of the mormolykiai is very similar-they are named after a woman named Mormo, who cannibalized her own children.)
Later Lamia became identified with a class of beings modeled on her, described as coarse-looking women with deformed, serpentlike lower bodies. Their feet were not paired, one being of brass and the other shaped like an animal's, commonly that of a goat, donkey, or ox. The lamiai were known primarily as demonic beings who sucked the blood from young children; however, they had the power to transform themselves into beautiful young maidens in order to attract and seduce young men. Philostratus included a lengthy account of the lamiaiin this transformation in the 25th chapter of the fourth book of his Life of Apollonius.
