A Slavic dragon is any Russian Three-Headed Dragon in Slavic mythology, including the Russian zmei] (or zmey; змей), known in Ukraine as zmiy (змій), and its counterparts in other Slavic cultures: the Bulgarian zmei (змей), the Polish żmij, the Serbian and Croatian zmaj (змај, zmȁj). The Romanian zmeu is also a Slavic dragon, but a non-cognate etymology has been proposed.
