Cam

A creature from the folklore of the Komi peoples. He lives in a hut located in a remote forest, and he is served by wolves. Hostile to people, but lets go of those who guess the riddle given to them.

The main function is to protect the fire in his furnace, which he constantly inflates. He has a fiery breath, and his death is in the most red-hot brand available in his furnace.

The word is given in V. Dahl's dictionary as the "local Siberian" name of a shaman.
