In Adyghe mythology, a chthonic monster, the personification of the evil forces of nature, a dragon, throwing down water from its huge mouth, which rains, and from a distance it seems like a white cloud (fog) covering the sky. The air he exhales knocks down riders and horses, a blizzard from his eyes sweeps away everything on the way.

In legends, he blocks the river and gives water to the inhabitants, only receiving a girl from them as a tribute.

In popular beliefs, the eclipse of the Sun and Moon is explained by swallowing their blago. To scare off the creature and free the luminary, shoot guns.
