Here are some female fairy tale monsters:

• Medusa, who has hair made out of snakes and can turn people to stone.
• A siren. They can lure people to them with their voices which are impossibly beautiful, but they lure people to destruction.
• Mermaid. Sometimes in the literature these were good, but sometimes they were bad, drowning people.
• Wicked witches. Lots of these in fairy tales.
• Evil queen. There are several of these, and stepmothers too, if humans can count as monsters.
• There are some cool female dragons too. :)

One example of a female fairytale monster is the Witch from "Hansel and Gretel." She is portrayed as old, evil, and preys on children.
