This particular portrayal of vampires has been thrust into the spotlight due to the previously mentioned book series, The Witcher, being turned into a Netflix series. The first season of the series followed Geralt of Rivia, portrayed by Henry Cavill, on his monster-slaying adventures and was extremely popular among viewers. Almost immediately there were calls for a Season 2, and Netflix delivered. It is in this new season that we get introduced to Vereena, a Bruxa who crosses paths with Geralt during his new journey.
Per CBR (and in keeping with part of the Bruxa legend), Vereena's physical appearance changes numerous times during the new season. One of her animal forms resembles a bat with pale skin, while in other scenes she is described as more ghost-like when she looks human. This Bruxa differs from the legend as she also has a powerful scream and the Witcher must use a silver sword instead of steel to protect himself. However, despite her portrayal as a bloodthirsty-witch-turned-vampire-shapeshifter-hybrid, it also appears she is also given some slightly more relatable qualities during this season. If you want to see more of Vereena, The Witcher Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
