Hydra

**Hydra** is a Fae species that has nine "heads" below the waist.

## Character arc

Bo saw a Hydra during "Singles Night" at The Dal when she was on the prowl for a sex chi feed and considered using him until Lauren explained that the Hydra's nine "heads" are below the waist.

Not much else is known about the Hydra.

## Trivia

In Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra was an ancient serpent-like water monster with reptilian traits. It possessed many heads — and for each head cut off it grew two more. The Hydra was one of the offsprings of Typhon and Echidna, both of whom were noisome offspring of the earth goddess Gaia.

Leshii

The **Leshii** is a Light Fae woodland spirit that inhabits Basque pastoral areas, meadows, and forests.

## Character arc

Flora Blooms was a Leshii and she longed to return to her tree of Gernika and her Basque forest.

It is unknown what powers the Leshii has, but Prince Felipe III told Flora that he had come far to see her petals in bloom.

## Trivia

* In La Fae Époque, the role of Flora Blooms is played by Zoie Palmer.

* The Leshy is known by a variety of names and spellings including Lesiy, *Leshii*, Leszi, Lesovik. He is a male woodland spirit in Slavic mythology who protects wild animals and birds in the forest and tells them when to migrate. He can shapeshift into many different forms. As a human, he looks like a peasant with glowing eyes, and his shoes are on backwards. There are also "leshachikha/leszachka" (wives of the leshak) and "leshonky" (children of the leszy). He is roughly analogous to the *Woodwose* of Western Europe and the *Basajaun* of the Basque Country.

* Guernica, or Gernika is a town in the province of Biscay, in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, Spain. Gernika is best known to those residing outside the Basque region as the scene of the April 26, 1937, Bombing of Guernica, one of the first aerial bombings by Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe. It inspired the painting *Guernica* by Pablo Picasso.

Duppy

A **Duppy** is a Fae spirit that is bound to earth.

Lisa Allan was a Duppy.

## Description

Duppies are invoked every one hundred years to bring darkness and death. They blackout after each kill and do not retain the memory of what they have done.

Duppies do not have Chi per se — they run on the energy of those who invoke them to kill and are essentially an "empty vessel".

These spirits of the dead are invoked with a Macuto.

## Trivia

Duppy is a Jamaican Patois word of Northwest African origin meaning ghost or spirit. Much of Caribbean folklore revolves around duppies. Duppies are generally regarded as malevolent spirits. They are said to mostly come out and haunt people at night, and people from the islands claim to have seen them. In many of the islands of the Lesser Antilles, duppies are known as jumbies. Duppy folklore originates from West Africa.
Chi

**Chi** is the life force and energy of all living Fae and humans that Succubi and Incubi must feed on to survive and heal. Lilin, Yuki-onna, and Rusalka are also known to feed on sex chi. Since the Qarinah's feeding signature is similar to that of a Succubus, Qarinahs may feed on chi too.

A Succubus or Incubus is able to feed off chi and potentially kill them or resusitate them by breathing chi into them.

Bo is the only one who can feed off multiple Chi.

## Trivia

* In traditional Chinese culture, *qi* is an active principle forming part of any living thing. Qi is frequently translated as "natural energy", "life force", or "energy flow". References to concepts analogous to the *qi* taken to be the life-process or flow of energy that sustains living beings are found in many belief systems, especially in Asia.
* "Life force" is the concept that a fundamental energy animates all living organisms. Many cultures and religions, past and present, believe in its existence:
	+ Chi or Qi - Taoism
	+ Prana - Hinduism
	+ Lüng - Tibetan Buddhism
	+ Mana - Polynesian
	+ Ruah - Hebrew
	+ Ka - Ancient Egyptian
	+ Vitalism - Western
Rabisu

A **Rabisu** is an Under Fae species that hides in the shadows.

## Description

The Rabisu appears as a swirling dust cloud and has the power to teleport a person with it.

## Trivia

In Akkadian mythology Rabisu ("the vagabond") is an evil vampiric spirit or demon that is always menacing the entrance to the houses and hiding in dark corners, lurking to attack people. It is said that pure sea salt can ban them as the salt represents incorruptible life. In Hell, they live in the Desert of Anguish, attacking newly arrived souls as they travel down the Road of Bone to the City of the Dead.
Mare

This page originates from Mare page on Lost Girl

A **Mare** is a Dark Fae species that creates nightmares and feeds from the fear from nightmares.

## Description

A Mare feeds only on those who slumber. The nightmares create fear and the Mare feeds from it. Mares most often feed on humans.

Mares are capable of creating a "psychic connection" with their prey. Their victims can become insane when they create an overload of nightmares.

The enemy of the Mare is a Baku because they feed on nightmares.

## Character arc

They are almost exclusively Dark Fae. A Mare fed illegally on Light Fae territory.

A Mare was among the corpses at a mass Fae grave site and Tamsin said it had fed on a Baku (Adventures in Fae-bysitting)

## Power

**Nightmare Creation**: Mares can create and give others nightmares.

## Trivia

* The Mare in the episode is played by Kristina Pesic.

* A "mare" is a spirit or goblin in Germanic folklore which rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on bad dreams (or "nightmares"). The mare is attested as early as in the Norse Ynglinga saga from the 13th century, but the belief itself is likely to be considerably older. The mare is often similar to the mythical creatures succubus and incubus, and was likely inspired by sleep paralysis.

Valhalla

This page originates from Valhalla page on Lost Girl

**Valhalla** is an Underworld location where Valkyries take the souls of fallen warriors who died on battle fields. It is considered their "head office".

Valhalla is governed by Freyja, mistress of all Valkyries, and the authority in charge of balancing the "books" that keep track of souls in the domain. Souls considered "sub-par" are denied entry.

Souls are assigned to different realms and Valhalla is one of the realms of the underworld.
Valhalla is the mirror of Hel.

Souls cross into Valhalla through its gate, which only reveals itself to Valkyries. A non-Valkyrie can use a Valkyrie's hair to cast an incantation to reveal the gate, *"I navnet til sjelene brakt frem fil Valhalla, la portene apenbarer seg. Avslor. Avslor. Avslor!"*

## History

Bo teleported to Valhalla on the Bifrost when she put the Helskor shoes on her feet (in doing so she disrupted the balance of the realm). Lauren used the lock of hair Massimo cut from Tamsin's head in Turn to Stone to use with an incantation that made the gate reveal itself to her (Like Hell Pt.1).

## Description

The Valkyrie Gate is a metal gate with runes on it. Inside the gate, there is a statue of the Norse god Odin. When the gate is closed, it resembles a wall with runes graffiti on it.

Inside Valhalla, it resembles a luxury five-star hotel. Each of the suites has a bed, windows that can be changed to whatever the occupant wants, and a closet.

## Quotes

TAMSIN: "He has fallen in battle and I must take him to the Einherjar in Valhalla." – to The Blood King about Rainer (Destiny’s Child)

## Trivia

In Norse mythology, new souls taken to Valhalla join the souls of other dead warriors and together become the Einherjar — warriors preparing for the final battle at Ragnarök.

* Valhalla is a majestic, enormous hall located in *Asgard*, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field *Fólkvangr*. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of *Ragnarök*.

* The Einherjar are those that have died in battle and are brought to Valhalla by valkyries.

* Ragnarök is a series of future events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors.

Muse

This page originates from Muse page on Lost Girl

A **Muse** is a Fae species that inspires and stimulates creativity. Muses are a seductive Fae.

## Character arc

Evony Fleurette Marquise is a former Leanan Sidhe, a Dark Fae Muse. She entices and manipulates struggling artists and musicians, inspiring them to achieve fame and fortune — then drives them to madness and death as she feeds their talents out of them (it remains unknown if the latter behavior is the same for all muses).

## Quotes

TRICK: The Morrigan. She's a Leanan Sidhe....A Fae seductress....An evil muse if you will. (It's Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away)

## Trivia

The Muses in Greek mythology, poetry and literature, are the goddesses of the inspiration of literature, science and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture, that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths. The Muses, the personification of knowledge and the arts, especially literature, dance and music, are the nine daughters of *Zeus* and *Mnemosyne* (memory personified). Hesiod's account and description of the Muses was the one generally followed by the writers of antiquity. It was not until Roman times that the following functions were assigned to them, and even then there was some variation in both their names and their attributes: *Calliope* (epic poetry), *Clio* (history), *Euterpe* (flutes and lyric poetry), *Thalia* (comedy and pastoral poetry), *Melpomene* (tragedy), *Terpsichore* (dance), *Erato* (love poetry), *Polyhymnia* (sacred poetry), and *Urania* (astronomy).

Scuffock

**Scuffock** is a Fae warrior species.

## Character arc

Ciara told to Bo that her mother, a Scuffock, has passed her warrior training skills on to her.

A Scuffock has not been seen in an episode.

## Trivia

The name of the species most probably derives from "Scáthach" (pronounced in such a way that it could sound like "scuffock"), a legendary Scottish warrior woman and martial arts teacher that taught heroes the art of combat. She is especially associated with the Isle of Skye, where her residence Dún Scáith (Fort of Shadows) stands.

Merfolk

This page originates from Merfolk page on Lost Girl

**Merfolk** are a rare and dangerous aquatic Fae species. Diana, Darren, and Dominique were merfolk siblings.

## Description

Merfolk generally appear as part human and part fish like traditional depictions of mermaids and mermen. However, for one year, merfolk can transform their fish-like tails into legs, known as the "Walking", enabling them to walk on land so as to experience the world of humans and terrestrial Fae before returning to the sea. At the end of the year, they lose the ability to create full legs and are instead left with stumps. As such, most go back to their people and keep their tails.

Merfolk can breath both water and air. They are cold-blooded creatures with skin as cold as that of a fish. The tears of mermaids become pearls. They are fast and skilled swimmers and can speak different aquatic languages such as dolphin. Merfolk are also extremely strong, capable of ripping off a human's legs with ease.

They have the ability to fill a person's lungs with water, causing them to cough the water up in desperation or drown.

However, merfolk can only swim in saltwater. If they drink or are sprayed by tap water or freshwater, they dissolve into sea foam (Waves). It is suggested that they could reform, but pouring the foam down a drain (and therefore mixing the foam with sewage) appears to be enough to keep this from happening.

## In Lost Girl: The Interactive Motion Comic

Merfolk resemble humanoid fish-like monsters who can walk on dry land.

## Powers

* **Underwater Breathing**: Merfolk can breathe underwater.
* **Hydrokinesis**: Mermen are able to make their victims choke on water without touching them. It is unknown their extent of their power.
* **Enhanced Strength**: Merfolk are very strong, being able to rip off a human's legs with ease.

## Trivia

* Female merfolk are called Mermaids, and in Greek mythology they are called Sirens. Males are called Mermen.

* In folklore, sea glass was said to be the tears of mermaids.

Mermaids create pearls from their teardrops. They can make their victims choke on water without touching them. Mermaids possess a light blue fish-like tail.

Mermaids can breath both water and air. They are cold-blooded creatures with skin as cold as that of a fish, even on land. They are fast and skilled swimmers and can speak different aquatic languages such as dolphin. Mermaids are also extremely strong, capable of ripping off a human's legs with ease.

Mermaids can only swim in saltwater. If they drink or are sprayed by tap water or freshwater, they dissolve into sea foam. It is suggested that they could reform, but pouring the foam down a drain (and therefore mixing the foam with sewage) appears to be enough to keep this from happening.

## History

Bo commented that the Noble families of the Light Fae are "like the mob, but with mermaids." (The Girl Who Fae'd With Fire)

A mermaid was among the corpses at a mass Fae grave site and Tamsin said she was fed on by a Wendigo (Adventures in Fae-bysitting).

Diana and Dominique are mermaids that dwelled in a large saltwater pool (Waves).

## Trivia

A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Africa and Asia. The first stories appeared in ancient Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks and drownings. In other folk traditions (or sometimes within the same tradition), they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans. Mermaids are associated with the mythological Greek sirens as well as with sirenia, a biological order comprising dugongs and manatees.

* **Immortality**: While not immortal, Fae Witches and Warlocks possess longer lifespans than humans.

## Trivia

* A group of witches is called a coven.
* Witchcraft (also called witchery or spellcraft) is the use of magical faculties, most commonly for religious, divinatory or medicinal purposes. This may take many forms depending on cultural context. The belief in and the practice of magic has been present since the earliest human cultures and continues to have an important religious and medicinal role in many cultures today. The concept of witchcraft as harmful is often treated as a cultural ideology providing a scapegoat for human misfortune. This was particularly the case in the early modern period of Europe where witchcraft came to be seen as part of a vast diabolical conspiracy of individuals in league with the Devil undermining Christianity, eventually leading to large-scale witch-hunts, especially in Protestant Europe. Witch hunts continue to this day with tragic consequences. Since the mid-20th century Witchcraft has become the designation of a branch of modern paganism. It is most notably practiced in the Wiccan and witchcraft traditions, some of whom claim to practice a revival of pre-Abrahamic spirituality.
* The word *witch* derives from the Old English nouns *wicca* ('sorcerer, male witch') and *wicce* ('sorceress, female witch'). The word's further origins in Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European are unclear.
* A Jumbee was accused of being a witch and both she and her fiancé, Noah Jenkins, were shot to death by her accusers.

La Shoshain

This page originates from La Shoshain page on Lost Girl

**La Shoshain** is an annual sacred Fae holiday.

La Shoshain commemorates the blood sacrifice made by The Blood King to end The Great War and write the Blood Laws that govern the Fae. It is a day of peace and neutrality when Fae are not allowed to use their powers, feed on humans, or commit Fae-on-Fae violence.

It is the only day when the rules that keep Light Fae and Dark Fae separated are relaxed and members of both clans can socialize together, including becoming personal and sexual with each other.

Despite the rules, unaligned Fae such as Bo are free to use their powers on this day as they are not bound to either side, and are not obligated to observe the rule against use of powers. The power of the Banshee that wailed on La Shoshain — to warn of an imminent death — was an automatic reflex rather than a conscious choice.

Trick considers it a spiritual day, but ruefully admits that many Fae simply drink, eat and "fornicate."

In the new world Fae colony the festive gathering is held at The Dal.

## Trivia

La Shoshain likely means "Peace Day" – deriving from the Irish Gaelic word "Lá" which means "Day," and "Síochána" which means "Peace."

Lupercus

A **Lupercus** is a type of Shapeshifter species and a mortal enemy of the Shapeshifters.

## Description

The Lupercus and Shapeshifter species have hated each other for thousands of years.
In the fight scene there is a moment where both their faces slightly shape-shift — the lupercus revealed fangs, pointed ears, and pointed nose; and afterwards injured Dyson with claws.

The lupercus is a Shapeshifter, but never completely shifted into another form and we don't know exactly what he becomes. The species has not been seen or mentioned in another episode and nothing else is known about them.

## Character arc

Dyson is forced into a fight "to the death" with one of them by Dr. Isaac Taft.

## Trivia

* The word "lupercus" originates from *Lupercalia*, the ancient Roman annual pastoral festival celebrating Lupercus, the god of shepherds. The Lupercalia festival was partly in honor of Lupa, the she-wolf who suckled the infant orphans, Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, explaining the name of the festival, Lupercalia, or "Wolf Festival." The rites were directed by the Luperci, the "brothers of the wolf (lupus)", a corporation of sacerdotes (priests) of Faunus (the horned god of the forest, plains and fields; equated in literature with the Greek god Pan).

* Due to the fact that Lupercus was a patron god of shepherds, one could extrapolate that the Lupercus shifter form would be that of a guard/shepherd canine. (e.g. German Shepherds or Irish Wolfhounds). This would explain the canine features similar to that of a wolf shifter seen during the lupercus' partial transformation, as well as explain the "thousands of years of hatred" between the two species.

* The Lupercal (from *lupa*, Latin for she-wolf) is a cave at the foot of the south side of Palatine Hill in Rome. In the legend of Rome's foundation, Romulus and Remus were found there by the lactating female wolf who suckled them until they were found by Faustulus. The priests of Lupercus later celebrated certain ceremonies of the *Lupercalia* there, from the earliest days of the City until AD 494, when the practice was ended by Pope Gelasius I.

* Although there has been no connection made to a Werewolf, the word "lycanthrope" comes from the combination of two Ancient Greek words: *lýkos* (wolf) and *ánthropos* (a human).

Hrimthurs

A **Hrimthurs** is a Fae species whose ice-cold touch can stop a person's heart.

## Description

The Hrimthurs is also known by the description of "Frost Giant". He can turn his fingers into hard, sharp-pointed icicles.

## Character arc

Bo tried to use her succubus powers on Jesper, a Hrimthurs and failed. He commented that had she tried to do it 20 years from then, when she had learned to channel her power, he would have been unable to resist her.

## Trivia

* It can be deduced that seeing as to how Bo's seductive powers work potently on most Fae — but did not on Jesper — the ice-cold nature of a Hrimthurs creates a strong resistance to such manipulation.

* Niflheim is one of the Nine Worlds and is a location in Norse mythology which overlaps with the notions of Niflhel and Hel. Niflheim was primarily a realm of primordial ice and cold, with nine frozen rivers. Two classes of legendary beings were often labeled by scholars as the inhabitants of Niflheim — the Hrímthursar, widely known as the Frost Giants (or Rime-Giants) of Norse legend [was one of them].

* The Jötnar are a mythological race that live in Jötunheimr, one of the nine worlds of Norse cosmology. The first living being formed in the primeval chaos known as Ginnungagap was a giant of monumental size, called Ymir. When the icy mists of Niflheimr met with the heat of Múspellsheimr Ymir was born out of the joining of these two extreme forces from either world in the great void. When he slept a jötunn son and a jötunn daughter grew from his armpits, and his two feet procreated and gave birth to a son, a monster with six heads. These three beings gave rise to the race of *hrímþursar* (*rime* thurs, frost giants), who populated Niflheim.

Thyrsus

The **Thyrsus** is a magical wand that Roman, the Bacchus, used to induce sexual desire. He referred to the effect as "Fae ecstasy". It was also a weapon that, with a fiery blast, could incapacitate or kill a target.

## Powers

* **Sexual Desire Induction**: The Thyrsus is able to induce sexual desire and Roman referred to the effect as "Fae ecstasy".
* **Fiery Blast**: The Thyrsus is also a weapon that could shoot a fiery blast capable of incapacitating or killing a target.

## Trivia

A thyrsus was a wand or staff of giant fennel (Ferula communis) covered with ivy vines and leaves, sometimes wound with taeniae and always topped with a pine cone. In Ancient Greek religion, the staff was carried by the votaries of Dionysos (Bacchae, Maenads). The thyrsus was a sacred instrument at religious rituals and fêtes. Bacchae were depicted and described using them as weapons. Scholars differ on the extent to which these staffs can be explained as symbols of fertility.

Under Fae

**Under Fae** are Fae that cannot pass as humans outside of the Fae world.

## Character arc

The distinction between Fae and Under Fae is not always clear. It appears that even intelligent Under Fae are not considered to be Light Fae or Dark Fae. As a result, Under Fae can "work" for either side and are unaffected by the usual politics of Fae society.

Although some Under Fae have a degree of sentience they are frequently treated as animals, whether or not they can speak or seem intelligent. Some are valuable and sold, while others are hunted for parts. Some are considered pests and trapped, or exterminated.

In the The Kenzi Scale, it was revealed that all Fae must pass an evolutionary rite of passage ritual called The Dawning, or they devolve into Under Fae. The Dawning occurs when a Fae is two hundred or so years-old, and requires extensive preparation to pass its tests.

Banshee

This page originates from Banshee page on Lost Girl

A **Banshee** is a Fae species that wails only for the impending death of a Fae from a Noble family.

## Description

The Banshee wailing is a reflex they cannot control. Who the banshee wailed for rests in their subconscious mind and to reveal the name it must enter into a trance. Banshees have allergic reactions to iron and to invoke a trance and summon the voice of the ancient mourners they must drink pureed liver, which contains iron.

During this phase, the banshee's eyes turn completely white and the voice turns raspy. They reveal the name of the person who will die and at what time. Afterwards, the banshee reverts back to their old persona and throw up what they drank.

## Powers

* **Predicting Death**: Banshees can predict the death of someone from a Noble family, Fae or human.
* **Wailing**: Banshees can wail for the one they predicted is going to die. A Banshee's wail is involuntary and is a reflex. When a Banshee wails for someone, there is nothing that person can do to stop it and death will find them where ever they go.

## Trivia

The Banshee (from the Irish *bean sí* meaning "woman of the síde" or "woman of the fairy mounds") is a feminine spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld. She begins to wail if someone is about to die.
Ixtab

This page originates from Ixtab page on Lost Girl

An **Ixtab** is a suicide Fae species that feeds on the despair that results in someone committing suicide.

Tabitha was an Ixtab.

## Trivia

* Ixtab or Rope Woman was the Yucatec Mayan goddess of suicide according to Diego de Landa (1524 – 1579; a Spanish bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Yucatán). In Yucatec society, under certain circumstances, suicide, especially suicide by hanging, was considered an honorable way to die. Ixtab would accompany such suicides to paradise (thus playing the role of a psychopomp). Here, joined by people who died as soldiers or as sacrificial victims, by women who died in childbirth and by members of the priesthood, they enjoyed a delectable existence rewarded with delicious food and drink and resting under the shade of a pleasant tree, Yaxche, free from all want.

* Psychopomps are creatures, spirits, angels, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls from Earth to the afterlife. Their role is not to judge the deceased, but simply to provide safe passage.

Huldra

A **Huldra** is a Fae species that can melt portions of people's brain to control her enemies.

## History

Ryan Lambert's amnesia was caused by a huldra named Sonja who became jealous and went ballistic when he responded to an emergency "service call" from Bo.

## Power

**Brain Melting (limited)**: Huldras can melt portions of people's brains to control her enemies.

## Trivia

A huldra is a seductive forest creature found in Scandinavian folklore. In Norwegian folklore, she is known as the Hulder. She is known as the skogsrå (forest spirit) or Tallemaja (pine tree Mary) in Swedish folklore, and Ulda in Sámi folklore. The huldra is a shapeshifter. The huldrer (Norwegian) were held to be kind to charcoal burners, watching their charcoal kilns while they rested. Knowing that she would wake them if there were any problems, they were able to sleep, and in exchange they left provisions for her in a special place. Males, called *Huldrekarl*, also appear in Norwegian folklore. This being is closely related to other underground dwellers, usually called tusser. Like the female counterpart, the huldrkarl is a shapeshifter who often lures girls under a fair countenance.
Cherufe

This page originates from Cherufe page on Lost Girl

A **Cherufe** is an Under Fae species composed of magma.

## Description

A Cherufe is immensely powerful. It can cover swaths of lands in lava and disguise itself as a rock formation. When a Cherufe touches someone, it sets off a chain reaction and the victim spontaneously combusts.

When the Light Fae Noble families reneged on a deal with a Cherufe, it caused Mount Vesuvius to erupt and destroy Pompeii in 79 AD, wiping out Clan Scafati.

## Trivia

It is said that Cherufe inhabits the magma pools found deep within Chilean volcanoes and are the source of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Cherufe are also said to be the source of magicians ardent stones (meteorites and volcanic stones) that cause damage to volcanic regions. The only way to abate the Cherufe's appetite for destruction was to satiate the beast's taste for human flesh by throwing a sacrificial victim into the bowels of its volcanic home. Much like the European dragon, the Cherufe's preferred delicacy came in the form of virginal maidens.
Oracle

An **Oracle** is a Fae species that can see the past, present, and the future.

## Description

Cassie said she gets cottonmouth whenever she uses her powers. It's unknown if this is only Cassie or all Oracles get cottonmouth after getting visions.

When Oracles want to obtain truth, they are required to deliver truth in order to extract the truth they seek. They create a vision wherein they appear to someone as the person their heart most desires. They must then get close to someone's lips (i.e. kiss them) to acquire their truth.

## In Lost Girl:The Game

The Oracle were once revered as prophets, able to channel the voices of gods, their Fae powers allow them

to commune with all manner of natural phenomena.

## Power

* Precognition: Oracles have the power to see into the future.
* Retrocognition: Oracles have the power to see into the past.
* Clairvoyance: Oracles have the power to see into the present.
Shapeshifter

This page originates from Shapeshifter page on Lost Girl

A **Shapeshifter** is a Fae species that can transform its physical appearance to that of a different physiognomical form.

## Description

Shapeshifters are able to control their transmutations. There exist different kinds of Shapeshifters, of both Light Fae and Dark Fae clans.

Other species of shapeshifters appear to be limited to one shift-form of another species. For example, Dyson always shifts into a grey wolf.

A Humanoid shapeshifter can shift into different human types.

## Character arc

Bo met a shapesrhifter named Teague that suffered an identity crisis from all the times that he had shifted into the forms of many different people (Barometz. Trick. Pressure).

## Trivia

Shapeshifting abilities, founded in mythology and folklore (and still prevalent in modern fantasy fiction), is the ability of an entity being able to physically transform into another being or form. This is usually achieved through an inherent faculty of a mythological creature, divine intervention, or the use of magic spells or talismans. The most common form of shape-shifting myths is that of therianthropy, which is the transformation of a human being into an animal (and, conversely, of an animal into human form). Legends allow for transformations into plants and objects, and the assumption of another human countenance (e.g. fair to ugly).

Yuki-onna

This page originates from Yuki-onna page on Lost Girl

**Yuki-onna** is a Fae species that feeds on sex chi. Nothing else is known about Yuki-onnas.

## Trivia

Yuki Onna is a spirit or yōkai in Japanese folklore. She is a popular figure in Japanese literature, manga, and animation. Yuki-onna appears on snowy nights as a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and blue lips. Her inhumanly pale or even transparent skin makes her blend into the snowy landscape. She sometimes wears a white kimono, but other legends describe her as nude, with only her face and hair standing out against the snow. Despite her inhuman beauty, her eyes can strike terror into mortals. She floats across the snow, leaving no footprints (in fact, some tales say she has no feet, a feature of many Japanese ghosts), and she can transform into a cloud of mist or snow if threatened. What Yuki-onna is after varies from tale to tale. Sometimes she is simply satisfied to see a victim die. Other times, she is more vampiric, draining her victims' blood or "life force." She occasionally takes on a succubus-like manner, preying on weak-willed men to drain or freeze them through sex or a kiss.

Dark Ceilidh

This page originates from Dark Ceilidh page on Lost Girl

A **Dark Ceilidh** is a party thrown by the Dark Fae.

The Dark Fae clan gets a private estate and all its possessions to throw a party with servants, feasting, entertainment, and dancing.

## History

The Morrigan and her clan took over a wealthy mansion where a human wedding was being held, the bride and groom were killed, and other humans present were used to feed from and dispose of.

## Trivia

In modern usage, a cèilidh or ceilidh is a traditional Gaelic social gathering, which usually involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing. It originated from Ireland and Scotland, but is now common throughout the Scottish and Irish diasporas. In Scottish Gaelic it is spelled cèilidh, and in Irish it is spelled céilí. Originally, a ceilidh was a social gathering of any sort, and did not necessarily involve dancing. In more recent decades, the dancing portion of the event has usurped the older meanings of the term, though the tradition of guests performing music, song, story telling and poetry still persists in some areas.
Mesmer

This page originates from Mesmer page on Lost Girl

A **Mesmer** is a Fae species that can control both Fae and humans against their will.

## Description

Though the precise mechanism of the Mesmer's power is unknown, a Mesmer takes over a victim through the use of hand gestures, controlling the victim as if he or she were a marionette. So long as a Mesmer's hands are not bound they can use their abilities. Outside of external forces – such as the use of a Siracon – it seems impossible to break a Mesmer's grip on a victim unless they willingly let them go, or if they can be distracted. Wolf-Shifters are immune to the powers of a Mesmer when in wolf form.

## Character arc

Vex, a Dark Fae, is the last Mesmer in the Fae universe.

The Una Mens exterminated all Mesmers, but Vex was somehow spared when he was a child. In Let the Dark Times Roll, he told Bo that both Light Fae and Dark Fae had hunted Mesmers because The Una Mens feared their powers. Mesmers were killed by having both their hands cut off, robbing them of their ability to feed, and resulting in their starving to death. Vex survived by aligning himself with the Dark and doing the bidding of its Elders. It is unknown if there were any Light Fae Mesmers.

## Powers

* **Mind and Body Control**: Mesmers can control people's minds and bodies against their will.
* **Longevity**: While not immortal, Mesmers possess longer lifespans than humans.

## Trivia

The name of the species, "Mesmer", is derived from the verb "to mesmerize" and originates from the name of Franz Anton Mesmer, a German physician who theorised that there was a natural energetic transference that occurred between all animated and inanimate objects that he called *magnétisme animal*. Later, in 1843, James Braid, a Scottish physician proposed the term hypnosis for a technique derived from magnetism but more limited in its claimed effects.

Preta

This page originates from Preta page on Lost Girl

A **Preta** is an extremely greedy Fae species.

## Description

Pretas are driven to satisfy their desires, but are unable to fulfill them. Some have insatiable appetites but cannot swallow food; others have unquenchable thirst but when liquid touches their lips it evaporates; while some have overwhelming sexual urges.

Some Pretas have an unstoppable lust for treasures but cannot enjoy the spoils because if touched by their bare hands they will turn into sand.

Pretas live in dens and there are stories about people entering them, but none about them coming out. To get something from a Preta, a trade must be offered in return that has value.

## Character arc

A Preta was stealing valuables in Africa and stole the Healing Mask from a revered Shaman in Mali. His known location was the catacombs under the First Christ Church in Sambava, Madagascar.

## Trivia

Preta is the name for a type of (arguably supernatural) being described in Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, and Jain texts that undergoes more than human suffering, particularly an extreme degree of hunger and thirst. They are often translated into English as "hungry ghosts". Pretas are believed to have been false, corrupted, compulsive, deceitful, jealous or greedy people in a previous life. As a result of their karma, they are afflicted with an insatiable hunger for a particular substance or object. Traditionally, this is something repugnant or humiliating, such as human corpses or feces, though in more recent stories, it can be anything, however bizarre.
