The Banshee is one of the classic old school monsters that I have actually used in a fair number of games.
They were background characters in any adventure/story involving our good friend Lord Soth as well as being featured in one of the first third party D20 adventures I ever purchased and ran (the name escapes me at the moment).
The Banshee's key ability beyond its ghostly touch and terrifying presence is that its wail can outright drop a PC to 0 hit points with one failed saving throw. Its yet another potentially instantly lethal monster.
This Banshee model is by Games Workshop and I have to say I really like it. Its got some rotting clothes and a gaunt face to highlight its undead nature in addition to being posed like its floating rather than walking. I can't help but feel there some inspiration from Galadriel here which is why I choose most of the colours I did. My only break with that was red hair to both give the model some contrast and because there's a certain 'forlorn' castle I might want to use this fig with for a D&D game down the road.
