In Finnish folklore, ajatar is a spirit, also known as the "Devil of the Woods". The word "ajatar" probably comes from the verb ajattara, derived from ajaa, which can be translated from Finnish as "to chase", "to pursue".

This is an evil female spirit that manifests itself in the form of a snake or dragon. Ajatar is also called the Mother of Demons. She spreads diseases and pestilence, anyone who looks at her gets sick, and she also sucks the breasts of snakes.

Ajatar is associated with the Lithuanian spirit aitvaras and the Estonian ai, aijo or aijatar. Ajatar, in some ways, is similar to the Babylonian tiamat.
