Another Roma Legend, The Lilyi (meaning "Slimy" or "Viscous One"), were Mermaid-like in general appearance. They had long hair-like extensions, very much like spikes. The Lilyi would use these to attach themselves to a Human Host. They would then release a mucous-like substance, by which to "slither" inside the body. Once inside, The Lilyi caused Fever, Dysentery and all manner of aliments. They were related to The Tculo, but unlike them - their effects could be cured. Most of these cures were herbal in nature. The Lilyi seemed to prefer Winter as their "Hunting Season".
