LESNIK

Lesnik is creature from the Slavic countries. His role was to protect forests and wildlife that inhabited them. Their appearances can vary since these creatures are shapeshifters, though they are usually depicted with an animal head (often with horns) and/or with hooved feet. The Lesovik are in charge of maintaining balance between domesticated animals and wild animals, and as such they are the protectors of both. Slavs thought that migrations of animals are actually Lesnik's orders. If human befriends Lesnik, they could learn everything about magic. Farmers and shepherds usually made pact with him, so he could take care of their animals and farms. Lesnik is known that he could lead people to wrong way in forest, where he could tickle them to death and people had habit to wear their clothes upside-down, so they won't get lost. If two Lesnici meet each other, they could wreak havoc upon forests, destroying trees and make animals scared and scattered.
