Zmeu
Usually, the zmeu resides in the "other world" (celălalt tărâm) and sometimes Făt-Frumos has to descend into his dark kingdom, implying that the zmeu lives underground.
He is an outlandish beast that has a female version in some stories. Different from balaur or vârcolac, the Zmeu has human features. It has physical traits such as legs or arms and the ability to create weapons. A strong desire to kidnap and marry young girls animates him. By taking the shape of a dragon, appearing in the sky and spitting fire, the Zmeu belongs to a particular category of villains. He is smart and hard-to-defeat. Sometimes it is described wearing a shiny magical stone on its head, making it more difficult for Făt-Frumos, the Romanian Prince Charming, to crush it.
Country:România
Subject:iele
Iele's are supernatural female creatures from Romanian mythology, spread in superstitions, but whose precise profile cannot be established, due to the inconsistency of folklore; however, the preferred mythological form is that of fairy virgins, with great seductive power and magical powers, cumulating the attributes of Nymphs, Naiads, Dryads, and somewhat of Mermaids. They are similar to the Samodiva creatures in Bulgarian mythology.
