A relative of ろくろっ首, 濡女 literally means "wet woman" and has the head of a woman and the body of a snake. An image of 濡女 is shown in "The Illustrated Volume of a Hundred Demons" (百怪図鑑/ひゃっかい ずかん), which is from the Edo Period, and show ghosts, spirits and monsters based on folklore.
濡女's purpose isn't quite clear, and stories about her involve her luring people into water by pretending to drown and then killing them. Other stories categorize 濡女 as tame creatures that are simply trying to wash their hair. In those stories she only reacts violently when people bother her during her hair-washing ritual.
