Moss Maidens were wild women of the Forest Folk who were known for seducing hunters and charcoal burners. If a Moss Maiden was pleased with the lovemaking, she would charm a hunter's weapons never to miss or keep a fire burning all night to allow a charcoal burner to sleep. Members of the Wild Hunt were favored prey of the beautiful Moss Maidens, who often took Huntsmen as their ghostly lovers.
