"The Beldam" (also referred to as the "Other Mother") is the main antagonist of the novella Coraline and its 2009 film adaptation. She is a shape-shifting entity who can transform into any mother or being in order to lure kids into the other world that she has created and eventually keep them captive. In order to entice and lure her victims, she creates beautiful things in the other world that contrast the dull and boring things of the real world. After ingratiating herself with her victim, she convinces them to let her sew buttons into their eyes in order to consume their lives and steal their souls. She appears exactly as the children's mother, but her true form is tall and lanky, with claws for hands and a face seemingly cracked like porcelain.
Often times, The Beldam will take on the identity of a child's mother, and lure them into the other world -- acting as the preferred or perfect version to their real mother.
