balaur

In Romanian mythology a balaur is a creature similar to a dragon, although distinct: dragons as such also exist in Romanian mythology. A balaur is quite large, has fins, feet, and multiple serpent heads (usually three, sometimes seven, or even twelve). As a traditional character which is found in most Romanian fairy tales, it represents Evil and must be defeated by Fat-Frumos in order to release the Princess (see also Zmeu). The etymology seems to be Proto-Indo-European "*bal-", meaning "strong".
