Ondines

Ondines were mermaid-like creatures from Japanese Folklore, that Bobby encountered in Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting.

Characteristics
Close to mermaids the Odine, were creatures from the sea who took men away, mainly sailors to feed. Live in close family units, the females do most of the hunting, while men guard the children and home. Ondines have monogamous relationships, and thus they detest men who have cheating hearts, preferring to feed on these kind of men. Their family bonds are so strong that the Ondine "Keiko" refused to kill Bobby and even befriended him due to sensing the great loss Bobby was feeling over the death of his wife. The population is mainly extinct due to starvation and loss of habitat.

History
During Bobby Singer's time on a Japanese Merchant Ship the "Nishigo Maru", the engines were destroyed and crew members were mysteriously vanishing one at a time. Bobby originally suspected the killer might be an "Ikuchi" a giant sea monster from Japanese Folklore however he soon discovered an old woman he had befriended, was an Ondine. She was the matriarch of an Ondine clan and was killing the sailors to feed her family.
