Yes, they are called Lamia, and are based on the legend of the woman named Lamia. The legend varies but it seems that she may have had an affair with Zeus and her children were taken by a vengeful Hera. Either through a curse, grief, of having some relation to Hcate, the greek goddess of darkness, she changes into a child devouring demon that later legends say rips off the heads of children and drinks there blood.
