Fiery Serpent (Slavic)
A supernatural entity from Slavic folklore, described as a manifestation of fire in the sky or air. (Note: 1.

Firebird (Slavic folklore)

The figure functions variously as a cautionary monster, an explanation for sleep paralysis and nightmares, and a liminal test-figure in myth.

Koschei the Deathless
