Broxa

In Jewish folklore, Broxa is a bird that is said to suck the milk of goats and sometimes human blood during the night.

For the English village, see Broxa, North Yorkshire.

In medieval Portugal, the Broxa was considered to be a shape shifting entity-as a witch in female form and in male form, a demon. It has been speculated that this creature was derived from the Jewish mythical creature.[1]
