Baba Yaga, another creature from the eastern european mythology I might populize my game with, who was first known to me reading Dubravka Ugresic great novel 'Baba Yaga laid en egg'. A witch often described as living in the woods in a hut standing on Chicken legs. A lot of different versions of her seems to exit in Romania, Russia, Croatia, Poland etc.
Below on the left, is the heroine Vasilisa outside of the hut of Baba Yaga as depicted by Ivan Bilibin (1902). On the right, a Sami Storehouse on stilts, displayed at Skansen right here in Stockholm where I live.
