Mejenkwaar

[Source:

in the Marshall Islands. These demons are almost exclusively
female. When a woman was pregnant, often her husband would sail
off to go and collect gifts or special food, etc. for his wife.
However, if he was gone for too long a period of time, the pregnant
woman would often turn into a mejenkwaad. Very often this would
mean she'd eat her newborn child. When the husband arrived, she'd
go after him as well. The story of Lokokelok tells of a man who
evades being eaten by a mejenkwaad through a series of tricks he plays
on her.
