Women, I've seen plenty, casually walking down the street and you can catch sight of living, breathing women. In the summer, you might even glimpse a beautiful woman dressed in airy attire passing by. Various starlets regularly grace television programs as well. Women are ubiquitously present in human society, just like men.

But what if it's about "non-human women"?

Firstly, the phrase itself is peculiar—how can something non-human be called a "woman"? That said, "non-human women" are certainly not a rare concept in fictional stories. Moving tales of fox demons and female ghosts abound in Eastern legends, while Western mythology features Sirens and Enchanting Demons luring sailors. These humanoid creatures often possess appearances even more exquisite than those of human women, like carnivorous plants that entice insects, they seduce men into degradation and then devour them.

Indeed, some may prefer the female demons of fiction to the real women around them.
