Pamorak

Demon, the personification of pestilence in Belarusian folklore. He presented himself in the form of an animal (cat, dog, cow-yalovka), a man (an old woman ("braids are flattened, creatures are dark, would be a zyamlya, only a few blishchats"), a thin young woman, a creepy one-eyed grandfather with a shaggy beard, a beggar, a girl who already sucks her breasts, and so on).

Having turned into a man, Pamorak tried to get into the village, where people were not sick yet: he asked the peasant to take him by cart to the village or to ferry him across the river. If someone bought into his request, Pamorak made his way to the village and began to destroy people.
