--Bogatyri--
The Bogatyri are a team of ancient 'superheroes' who fight monsters and spirits, and strive to keep them contained.

Andrei Petrikovski: The only Bogatyri still doing his job, Andrei is battle-worn, weak and aged, losing his mind and already seeking mortals to pass his duty onto in case of the worst.

Dugnai: She is the goddess of yeast. Her holy duty is to help dough rise and stuff.

--Creatures--
Zmey: A many headed dragon who causes destruction. Similar to the hydra, it can be killed by applying fire to a neck stump before the head regenerates. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/...

Alkonost: Similar to harpies, these half-bird half-women sing beautiful songs to attract humans, who they will kill. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/...

--Hostile Spirits--
Baba-Yaga: The greater spirit of death. She lives in a house made of human bones which is held up by a pair of giant working chicken legs. One stare from her eyes can turn a man to stone and her teeth are made from knives. She can grind victims up with a pestle and mortar. The only way to outwit her is: If she invites you to eat with her, and you manage to stop her from eating YOU during the meal, she is forced to give you good advice and leave you be for a period of time. th06.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/246/4/a/baba_y...

When she meets handsome men, she mesmerizes them with songs and dancing, then lead them away to the river floor to their death.

--Passive Spirits--
Domovoi: A lesser spirit that takes residence in and around humans' houses. They normally stay under doorsteps and act as guardians looking out for burglars, fires and other dangers. They will protect you as long as you keep your residence clean, keep your language clean and leave food out at night. They are constantly watching, and if you offend them or ignore the previous steps, they can become enraged and attack or burn your house down. They are often seen as hairy humanoids, like apes. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Domovo...

Bannik: The spirit of the bathhouse, the Bannik can tell the future. Christian symbols anger it, and it can attack if you see it bathing. If you stand looking away from it as it bathes, if it strokes your back it means good fortune, if it scratches it means bad.
