A Slavic equivalent of Pan, Sylvan, and Faunus, Leshy is a Guardian of the Forest. Described as an old man with a long beard and antlers, he is a fairy-like creature able to shift his shape in that of the smallest blade of grass or the largest tree. He maintains the circle of life in the wild and is often accompanied by a bear or a wolf. It is said that he preys on young and beautiful girls and makes them dance around him to the music of his flute.
