It has parallels in the mythology and folklore of many other peoples.

The cult of Elan, his deification, and worship of him were widely reflected in the most ancient Turkic-Tatar samples. The image of Elan has many faces. It was believed that the snake king Ak Elan (White Snake) is friendly to people, and Kara Elan (Black Snake) personifies forces hostile to man.

The Tatars still have a belief that a white snake found on the farmstead is fortunately, a black one is in trouble.
