The domestic gods worshiped by the Slavs survive in the Russian Dědushka domovoy ("House Gaffer"). Polish Skrzat, Czech Skritek or Hospodancek, Bulgarian Slopan. There are likewise deities of fate (Rozhanice, Sudjenice, Dolya, Sreča), and spirits of water, forests, fields, and mountains (Vily, Divy, Judy, etc.). Belief in werewolves (Vlkodlak, etc.) is widespread, as is that in Vampires, and the "little folk" (Ludki).
