Shtriga are a race of malevolent vampiric witches and warlocks, able to siphon souls and life energy from their victims. A rare male shtriga known as "Chad Stephens" was a temporal fugitive, who preyed on a summer camp during the 1990s.
Overview
The shtriga are usually expected to be female witches. Aside from their dark magic powers they also have enhanced strength and distorted voices. Siphoning life force allows the shtriga to keep their bodies young and strong, otherwise they turn into easily broken dried husks; however, this process of extracting the life force takes a long time, and that the source(s) need to remain alive until the point of completion, making it possible to rescue victims before they are completely depleted of such by the shtriga tapping into their life energies. According to John Constantine, the shtriga are weak to cayenne pepper.[1]

After Mallus broke out of his prison, the male shtriga was one of the fugitives who ended up wreaking havoc in different points across the timeline. Masquerading as "Chad Stephens", the shtriga preyed on children visiting the camp. His crimes were eventually uncovered by the Legends, who searched for a female witch. However, their shape-shifter prisoner helped the Legends to identify their shtriga target as young and male, allowing Sara Lance and Ava Sharpe to bait and destroy him.[1]
