12 Slavic Creatures Explained in 12 Min

12 Slavic creatures explained — the real monsters from Slavic mythology and folklore.
Upyr, Baba Yaga, Kikimora, Viy, Koschei and more — this is the complete bestiary of dark Slavic mythology based on original folklore.

The Slavs crossed their mouths when they yawned. They wouldn't leave home after dark. They never drank water without blessing the bucket.

Because they were not alone.

Forget the Slavic gods — they lived in the sky. These lived in the corners. Under the floorboards. In the chimney.

There were hundreds of them. And each one had a name.

In this video, you'll meet all twelve:
Upyr (the Slavic vampire before Dracula), Drekavac, Mavka, Baba Yaga, Koschei, the Fiery Serpent, Kikimora, Poludnitsa, Likho, Chort, Zmey Gorynych, and Viy — the one whose gaze erases you.

By the end, you'll understand why they're still here.
