An Empousai (EH-boo-sahy; Anc. Gr. έμπούς (empous) en- "one" + pous "foot") is a chimera-like Wesen that was seen in a Grimm diary in a promotional image for "Map of the Seven Knights". Several Wesen were worshipped in Ancient Greece, with the Empousai once considered to be a demigoddess in Greek mythology.
Characteristics[]
When woged, an Empousai, as traditionally depicted in Ancient Greek art, has hair of fire, one leg of a donkey, and one brass prosthetic leg.
Trivia[]
- The Empousai is based on the real mythology of Empusa. As a demigoddess in Ancient Greece, Empusa was the beautiful daughter of the goddess Hecate and the spirit Mormo. She was initially based on vampires and was said to feast on blood by seducing young men as they slept, before drinking their blood and eating their flesh. Later on, Empusa's role in mythology was reduced to a species of spectre called an empuse or empusa.
