Description

A creature from Belarusian mythology that inclines people to drunkenness. It is a small creature overgrown with dark, sparse fur. His head is human, but instead of a nose there is a pig's snout, and instead of eyebrows there are horns. He has a pig's tail on the back and hooves on his feet. It is believed that only a drunk can see it.
