In Slavic mythology, a krsnik (female: krsnica) or kresnik is a type of vampire hunter and a shaman whose spirit wanders from the body in the form of an animal. The krsnik turns into an animal at night to fight off the kudlak, his evil vampire antithesis, with the krsnik appearing as a white animal and the kudlak as a black one.
