 a rusalka is "a dangerous female fairy-like being that dwells in lakes and rivers" in Slavic or Eastern European folklore.

From blog post on the Rusalki

"Appearance: With the passage of time Rusalki (plural) have become confused with mermaids, so it is possible to hear people speak of the Rusalki as if they are mermaids. However, traditionally the Rusalki are not mermaid-like in appearance.
There are two basic forms of the Rusalki, one which appears as a beautiful and seductive woman and one in which appears ugly or hideous, like as a drowned corpse. Some describe the Rusalki as having eerie, green-glowing eyes."
