Which creatures would you like to see in The Witcher 3?
There are many different mythological creatures "living" in every countries, which one would you like to see in Witcher 3 or next game in this universe?
I want to see there a creature called Viy.
Viy - in the Eastern Slavic mythology character of the underworld, whose gaze kills. His eyes are usually covered with huge eyelids and eyelashes that he can not lift without assistance.
According to the Belarusian and Russian fairy tales, Viy raised eyelids (eyelashes, eyebrows) with help of his aides with pitchforks. The person that sees Viy, could not stand against his gaze and dying. Viy can not only kill people, but to destroy and turn into ashes village or city.
Ukrainian legend was retold by Nikolai Gogol in his story "Viy".
"Viy - a colossal creation of simple folks imagination. This name was given by the Ukrainians to a huge chief of minions, whose eyes are ever on the way to the ground. This whole story has a popular legend. I did not want anything to change it and tell almost the same ease as heard."
- Note by Nikolai Gogol
Known literary treatment of stories about Viy made by Nikolai Gogol. According to research by D. Moldovansky, the name originated with the Viy Gogol as a result of mixing phonetic name of the mythological ruler of the underworld Niya.
Gogol's Viy is squat, clumsy, with sinewy, strong as roots arms and legs covered in black earth with iron fingers and face, with long eyelids drooping to the ground. His appearance is preceded by a wolf's howl.
And it would be great to see Koschei there. (Not a spider from W1)
