 Slavic in origin, Kikimora was a Household spirit. Said to resemble a half-Human and half-Crow beast, Kikimora wore women clothing. It would help with the housework of a woman (deemed a hard worker). However, if the woman wasn't, The Kikimora would disrupt and destroy the house. It would constantly bite the lazy woman's children (to keep them up at night). The only way to rid one of an angry Kikimora, was to make a special tea made of herbs, and scrub one's cooking utensils. The Kikimora will then leave.
