A Pricolici (pronounced /pri.koˈlit͡ʃʲ/) (same form in plural) is a werewolf/vampire fusion in the Romanian folklore. Similar to a vârcolac, although the latter sometimes symbolises a goblin, whereas the pricolici always has wolf-like characteristics, they have the ability to transform into ordinary people or animals. The etymology of the word is unknown; although it probably has Dacian origins.
