In Romanian mythology, a creature similar to a dragon (although dragons are also present in Romanian mythology).

It looks like a snake with wings, legs and many heads (usually three, sometimes seven or twelve) and can reach large sizes. In Romanian fairy tales, he is the personification of evil.

It is believed that the word balaur originates from the Proto-Indo-European root *bel- (strong) or * bhel- (to grow).‌‌ ‌‌‌ ‌‌‌‌ ‌‌‌ ‌‌‌ ‌‌‌‌ ‌‌‌‌‌ ‌‌‌‌
