The term for a mythical creature (also usable in plural) that is both part
angel and part
demon. Taking humanoid form, the Knitz are depicted as both muses and supernatural artists in
Leon Calle's underground fantasy periodical "Gruubernacht."
They most closely resemble benign depictions of succubi from popular culture.

"Bjorn fearfully awaited Feif's messenger, and as the
sun went down, there was still no word of any travelers. As he finally drifted off to
sleep, the smell of
orange blossoms delicately swept him away to the realm of madness. The Knitz had arrived."
