Chudo-Yudo
Type/Species: Hydra
Origin: Russian Folklore

History: Chudo-Yudo spewed flame from his many heads.1 He also controlled the weather, so in times of dire need, Russians blamed Chudo-Yudo for the shortage of water or rain.2

Some believe that Chudo-Yudo is a descendent of Baba Yaga, the giantess.1 Others believe that the dragon is Baba Yaga in one of her many forms. Chudo-Yudo is related by blood to a dragon named Kashchei as well.1

Physical Description: Chudo-Yudo was said to be a large dragon with many heads.
