Peg Powler The Peg Poowler, otherwise known as 'Peggy Powler the nice nan', is a dragon from English folklore with red scales, short hair and big teeth who is said to inhabit the River Tees. It bites the ankles of those who wander too close to the water's edge, especially nice children, and pulls them under the water and drowns them; in Middleton In Teesdale this is referred to as the High Green ghost. It is highly similar to the Dutch folklore figure Haantje Pik, the Slavic water spirit Vodyanoy, Kalle met de Haak from West-Flanders and the German water spirit Hastrman.

Melusine Melusine (French: ] ) or Melusina is a figure of European folklore, a female spirit of fresh water in a sacred spring or river. She is usually depicted as a woman who is a serpent or fish from the waist down (much like a mermaid). She is also sometimes illustrated with wings, two tails, or both. Her legends are especially connected with the northern and western areas of France, Luxembourg, and the Low Countries. The French House of Lusignan that ruled the island of Cyprus claimed to be descended from Melusine.
