Female character of Basque mythology similar to the classical nymphs and the xanas of the asturleoneses and Cantabrians and to the houses or daigua Catalan gifts, associated with caves, fountains and afterates of crystal clear water where they comb their long hairs with gold combs in the moonlight. Very attractive appearance however they have goat's feet, chicken or duck feet and in coastal areas, as Pío Baroja tells us, with fishtail, like mermaids. Many place names of the northern peninsular geography remind us of these pre-Christian legends.
