hellcat

She-devil type

A hellcat is a fierce, ill-tempered woman—someone wild, shrewish, or given to violent outbursts.

The word combines the fury of hell with the scratching aggression of a cat: His ex-wife was a hellcat who made his life miserable.

More broadly, hellcat can describe anyone dangerously aggressive or reckless.
