Malahas is a Native American mythological figure of the Nuu-chah-nulth people. She abducts children and brings them into the forest, as such she is known as the Woman of the Woods. Eventually she is brought down by Andaokut.[1]

There is a similar myth about a being known as Dzunukwa told in Kwakwaka'wakw mythology.
