It is also known as maighdean uaine (Green Maiden), and may appear as a woman of beauty or monstrous mien, as a half-woman and half-goat similar to a faun or satyr, or in the shape of a goat.
According to the same legend, her protection was revoked after one local youth poured boiling milk into the stone, burning her.
[5] Occasionally, hunters would be granted permission to shoot if they provided an offering, such as the hind of the deer to the herder.
[7] Another rendition of the glaistig legend is that she was once a mortal noblewoman, to whom a "fairy" nature had been given[8] or who was cursed with the goat's legs and immortality, and since has been known as "The Green Lady".
[10] In most tales she would continue to look after the house, upholding household duties, such as washing dishes and sweeping the floor.
