A Slavic dragon is any dragon in Slavic mythology, including the Polish żmij, Russian zmei (or zmey; змей), Ukrainian zmiy (змій), and its counterparts in other Slavic cultures (See § Forms below). The physiognomy resembles a combination of the classical dragon and a snake (as a winged serpent), less often depicted with two legs and/or more than one head.
