A shape-shifting creature from Bosnia and Serbia. His name means ‘Fiery Dragon Wolf’ because he was fathered by a fiery Dragon and since birth, had the ability to breathe blue fire. He had the ability to turn into a a creature that had the paws of a wolf and the wings of a Dragon at will when the sun was not shinning.

Zmaj Ognjeni Vuk was born in the 15th century and at birth he had a mark on his body in the shape of a sabre that predicted that he would grow up to become a shape-shifting creature. His body also had wolf fur. When he did grow up her was able to overcome the fiery Dragon where others had failed.

Did you find Zmaj Ognjeni Vuk interesting? If you are skilled in art, then why not draw a beautiful, lovely illustration of the Friendly Zmaj Ognjeni Vuk and send it to this website. Interested in more Russian legend? A great cartoon called Dobrynya Nikitich and Zemy Gorynych (2006) is a Russian children's animation with Dragons and other Russian mythical beings. But for those who love Vampires, lets not forget that Eastern Europe is their birth place. No film quite gives the Vampire spooks like Nosferatu (1922). However if you like it modern, Day Watch and Night Watch are interesting Vampire alternatives. Also the fantasy tabletop game Warhammer features an army called Vampire Counts which has been greatly inspired by Eastern European beliefs and culture.
