Vodenjak - In Serbian mythology, this being is a water demon that is not very kind to people - it often drowns people in rivers. He is imagined as a small man with a gray beard and hair, trousers and a cap and is often overgrown with moss and lives deep under the surface of the water in a glass castle. It is believed that it originated from the first drowned person of a river and therefore every river has its own Vodenjak. It is interesting that a similar creature was found on the sculptures of the Stone Age culture called Lepenski vir.

This investigation of Russian folklore is really fascinating. The video's narrative and attention to detail are jaw-dropping. Continue the excellent job of revealing these lesser-known fantastical creatures!

Lorax is what he reminds me of especially listening to all the history about it

[@beloaded3736]

He can have blue to gray eyes and scale like skin as he could be depiction of an old man, protector of waters and those who sail/travel. Now he is being celebrated around 20th december. So we could say he is swapped for st Nicolas when Christianity conquered our lands. There I deciphered it for you :)

I could see a movie about him. Put in some kind hearted children and a greedy businessman villain, and you got a good set up.

[@Jalen861]

That actually makes me wonder if the people who made the Creature from the Black lagoon ever heard of this.

[@Katya_Lastochka]

He shows up in an 18 minute Soviel animated film. Its a classic. Just type in Flying ship subtitled.
