Jenny Greenteeth
- A river-hag
English Folklore
This monster gets her name from her green skin and razor-sharp teeth. She lives in bogs, ponds or rivers, covered in slime and algae with her long hair swirling around her. If anyone gets too close, she pulls them into the water and holds them down until they drown. Her favorite victims are young children or the very elderly, and in some legends, she doesn’t just drown her victims – she eats them. She is associated with duckweed, which can gather into a thick mat on the surface of a pond so that it looks like solid ground, leading children to try to walk on it and sink down into the water.
