Lahmian

The word Lahmian refers to a type of Vampire Counts from Warhammer Fantasy. It is derived from the word "Lamia", a female supernatural monster/vampire/demon who feeds on blood. This derives further from Greek mythology where Lamia (derived even further from the Greek word Laimos, or gut) was the queen of Libya and one of Zeus's lovers. Since she had no children with Zeus to punish as she usually did, Hera instead killed all of Lamia's children. This drove Lamia insane and caused her to become a Snek monster that eats other women's children. Note that Lahmians are unrelated to Lamia in the traditional gaming context (preferring cats to snakes).
