Zmeu
The Zmeu (plural: zmei, feminine: zmeoaicÄ/zmeoaice) is a fantastic creature of Romanian folklore and Romanian mythology. Sometimes compared to other fantastic creatures, such as the balaur or the "vârcolac", the zmeu is nevertheless distinct, because it usually has clear anthropomorphic traits: it is humanoid and has legs, arms, the ability to create and use artefacts such as weapons, or the desire to marry young girls.
