http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broxa

"Sometimes referred to as a witch (when female) and sometimes as a
demon (when male), the Broxa is a nocturnal mystical entity of medieval
times . Broxas supposedly could fly and change their shape at will, and
also able to read the future. It was believed that they drank blood like
vampires. In Jewish folklore it is also the name of a bird believed to suck
the milk of goats during the night."

As shown by the fact they shoved a nicer name onto the village as a result.....

It's why having all the huskies penned in the woods & howling was
entertaining as all these witch familiars (OK Wolves rather than Huskies
but....they're close....) glaring at you through the trees was...fun esp as
night fell....& the fell beasts came out
