Well this short title let me down an interesting rabbit hole of different terms for "suit that makes a person look like plants" and the etymology of those terms.

Is "Ghillie suit" not used in Ukraine? Interestingly both Kikimora and Ghillie were names inspired by mythical spirits just one is Slavic and one is Scottish.
