Vântoase

Vântoase are creatures present in Romanian folklore, as a sort of female spirits (iele). Popular beliefs describe them as capable of causing dust storms and powerful winds, similar to harpies.^[1] They live in forests, in the air, in deep lakes, and use a special wagon for traveling. The Vântoase are also believed to be capable of attacking children, and the only protection against them is the mysterious "grass of the winds".
