Isn't the focus of Season 4 on Lydia?

Season 2: Kanima - South American Mythology

Season 3A: Druid (Darrach) - Greek Mythology

Season 3B: Kitsune (Nogitsune) - Japanese (Chinese, and Korean) Mythology

Season 4: Banshee (?) - Irish (Celtic) Mythology

There will probably be a villainous creature from the same mythology. Using that logic, my best guess is Dullahan, the Irish version of the headless horseman.

"A famous Irish creature that some say teams up with the Dullahan is the Banshee. ... Several versions of the Banshee legend say the feared ghost rode alongside the Dullahan in a black cart drawn by six black horses. The pair is said to whip the horses with a human spinal cord."

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dullahan "The Dullahan is a headless rider, usually on a black horse who carries his or her own head under one arm. The head's eyes are small, black, and constantly dart about like flies, while the mouth is constantly in a hideous grin that touches both sides of the head. The flesh of the head is said to have the color and consistency of moldy cheese. The dullahan uses the spine of a human corpse for a whip, and their wagon is adorned with funereal objects (e.g. candles in skulls to light the way, the spokes of the wheels are made from thigh bones, the wagon's covering made from a worm-chewed pall) or dried human skin. When the dullahan stops riding, that is where a person is due to die. The dullahan calls out their name, at which point they immediately perish." ]

My Theory:

The Dullahan is drawn by the Nemoton and is in search of a Banshee to ride alongside it. (Lydia) Like the Werewolf and the Kanima, the Dullahan is a social creature, but where the Werewolf seeks a pack and the Kanima seeks a master, the Dullahan seeks a Banshee. It would also have black eyes, like we saw in the "Eye Color" promo at the beginning of Season 3.

Unlikely, but I think it would make for an interesting story.
