[ Return to European Dragons ]
Location:
Baltic, Europe
Description:
These serpents are guardians of the home. In modern Baltic tradition, they
live by the stove, and are sacred to Saule (a sun goddess - guardian of fire).
The basic zaltys is known to be a species of grass snake found in the region.
However, some zaltys myths bear much more in common with dragon myths (serpent
transformation to human, talking and giant serpent proportions).
