Description

In Russian folklore, creatures coming out of the ice hole. These little men, appearing in flocks at Christmas, harming people and disappearing with the end of this period. They are probably restless spirits.

They have pointed cone-shaped heads, with which they hammer holes in the ice to get to the ground, as well as hooves. Fire bursts from their mouths.
