Karina act as raiders and kidnappers for evil fey, sneaking into settlements or isolated homesteads, stealing children and animals or simply terrorizing families. Karina are known to savor the flesh of mortals as well, stalking hunters and travelers through the forest for hours or days before finally swooping in to finish off their victims and feast on the remains. Though karina receive gold and magic in exchange for their captives, they appear to derive great perverse pleasure from the suffering they inflict.
