SCOTTISH GLASTIG (WATER IMP)

Solitary supernatural beings of the Scottish Highlands. They had the upper half of a woman and the lower half of a goat. They could appear in human as well as animal form. Their skin was grey and hair golden and long. They wore green colored clothes which were in the form of long robes which camouflaged their lower goat half.

The glaistig frequented lonely lochs and rivers in the highlands of Scotland. Sometimes The glaistig was described as half-earth, and half water sprite, although in the Gaelic language her name literally meant a ‘water imp’.
