In East Slavic tradition, the Fiery Serpent generally resembles a fiery shaft (a "fiery carrying pole", Russian: коромысло), a flaming broom, or a glowing ball of blue fire. It releases sparks during its flight and enters (the woman's) house through the chimney. The serpent may bring gifts, but those gifts turn to horse manure at sunrise (Russian, west-Ukrainian). The evil spirit reputedly visits the woman at night-time (this may be a literary convention. cf. Fet's poem, Fiery serpents in literature). Women who were widowed, or separated from her husband was particularly vulnerable to having affairs with this certain type of devil, because the devil will assume the shape of the dead or absentee husband. In their grief, and their desperation to be rejoined with their lost love, women do not recognize the serpent and become convinced that their lover has returned. It is told that those who are visited by the serpent experience weight loss, exhibit signs of insanity and eventually commit suicide, or wither and die. In addition, victims of the serpent often experience hallucinations, including visions of supernatural torment, such as suckling on breasts which excrete blood rather than milk. There are several ways to distinguish and identify the fiery serpent. Like any demon, it has no spinal cord (Russian) and a woman can test if it is the real husband by feeling for his spine. It cannot correctly pronounce sacred Christian names, such as "Jesus Christ" (Иисус Христос) the serpent may say "Sus Christ" (Сус Христос), and instead of Bogoroditsa (Богородица, Mother of God) it can only say Chudoroditsa (Чудородица). Other sources say the fiery serpent lacks the ability to hear and speak properly. And though the body may be human, it is multi-headed (Voronezh and Ukraine). Superstition prescribes certain ways to ward against the devil, for example, the magical odolen herb (possibly valerian), or a decoction of burdock or its root stuck on the wall may serve as amulet (Russia). Reading the Psalter in a house where the serpent has already visited may help; or making the sign of the cross at entry points, such as window, door or stovepipe. Mythology also tells that the Fiery Serpent had a son by a human woman, and she bore a werewolf (оборотень), the Fiery Serpent Wolf (Zmei Ognennyi Volk; Змей Огненный Волк). This son combatted and defeated his father. In Serbian epic literature, around the 15th century a mythical hero was transferred on to historical figures, namely, "Zmaj Ognjeni Vuk" (Змај Огњени Вук "Vuk the Fire Serpent/Dragon"; Vuk means "wolf") became the double of Vuk Grgurević. Thus women can have the fiery serpent's children, and illegitimate births are still often explained as such devil spawn. If a woman conceives a child with such a devil, the pregnancy will be exceedingly long, and the child will be born with black skin, with hooves instead of feet, eyes without eyelids and a cold body (Russia), or its body will be cold and jelly-like (East Ukraine). Such births are not viable, and the children die.
