Apot

In Francesco Maria Guazzo’s book Compendium
Maleficarum (Compendium of Witches, 1628), he described seven different types of demons, one of
which is the aqueous, or aquatic devil. He writes

and seductive women who prey upon mankind,
striking whenever an opportunity presents itself.
They have the ability to drown swimmers, cause
storms at sea, and sink ships. Naturally, one
would encounter such a creature in lakes, oceans,
and other bodies of water where they must live.
