Episode(s)	1.02 Teach Your Children Well

Her name is La Tunda. According to lore, she was a real woman once. A controlling and abusive mother who kept her children trapped in her home deep in the woods until one day they tried to escape by hobbling her. She caught them and she punished them for their disobedience by... chopping them up and using their remains to feed her flower garden. The children's remains imbued La Tunda's flowers with dark magic and an insatiable thirst for blood, so they transformed La Tunda into a monster to keep them fed. Now, she preys on other disobedient children like her own and listens for them in the woods. Then she lures them in with a familiar face before dragging them into her lair to feed on them... slowly, painfully, and over months. – Latika Dar, 1.02 Teach Your Children Well

History

La Tunda was once a human, and an abusive controlling woman who lived in the woods with her children. When her children tried to escape her abuse, she punished them by chopping them up and burying them in her flower garden. Doing this imbued the flowers with dark magic, which transformed La Tunda into a monster that would seek out disobedient children to feed her flowers.

Weaknesses
