there's a kind of vampire-like beings in Turkic mythology (mostly Kyrgyz and Kazakh) named Jeztyrnàk /Jeztyrmàk.
jeztyrmak means "copper nail/claw"
"jez" — copper".
"tyrmàk" — "nail"/"claw".
jeztyrmaks look like breathtakingly beautiful people (mostly women, as sources say, but we know better, right?)
by the way, they're not pale nor skinny.
they wear bright colours and lots of jewellery, both gold and silver.
and they always wear long sleeves, long enough the sleeves reach the ground. Why?
jeztyrmaks have copper claws. Very long and very sharp. (sometimes also copper noses that they cover with a sleeve)
they'll lull you closer, would share a meal with you and then, when you'd be asleep, will cut you in pieces with their claws, chop-chop-chop, and then eat you.
ah, and also they're guardians of the nature. their claws and noses symbolise jeztyrmaks' connection to birds of prey, mostly falcons.
