Bolla

The Bolla (known in southern Albania as Bullar ) is a dragon (or a demonic dragon-like creature) with a long snake body, four legs and small wings from the Albanian folklore.

This dragon sleeps throughout the year, until he wakes up on St. George's Day and stares with his silver compound eyes in the world. He does this until he sees a man, devours him and closes his eyes to another year long sleep. In its twelfth year, the Bolla developed by he gets nine tongues, horns, a spine and larger wings. During this time he learns how to spitting fire, which was all the time about his hidden ability. From this time he is called Kuçedra ( Hydra ). It causes droughts and water scarcity and is appeased only by human sacrifice. The Kuçedra is sometimes described as a giant woman with hairy body and hanging breasts.
