A female Coptic Egyptian, vampire, child murdering demon
similar to Lilith and Abyzou, Alabasandria is also known as Alabasdria.
Alabasandria is said to have the upper body of a beautiful
woman and the lower body of a reptile, particularly a snake. He is known to attack women, virgins and
children, On attacking the pregnant
women, she is believed to suck on the milk and blood of the mother causing them
to miscarry. If the mother successfully
gave birth to a child, he would prevent the mother to produce milk, thus
killing the newborn baby. It was also
said that she can spread disease among women and kill them.
Unlike the Abyzou and Lilith, Alabasandria is said to have
offspring who also carries out the same evil intent. They were also blamed for infertility.
Alabasandria is often associated with another vampiric
entity, the Gello. To drive away the
evil creature, the spirit of St. Sisinnious was summoned in order to protect
them. He was called by the believers to
help them defeat Alabasandria since he is known to defeat Gello during his
lifetime.
There were also charms and amulets available to the market
which depicts the Alabasandria being trampled or defeated by animals with
hooves especially the horses. These
amulets were believed to repel or protect someone form the attack of the
vampire creature.
