Chuvash dragon is Věri Şělen (Вěри Çěлен, lit. "fire snake").[1] Like the Russian Gorynych, the creature has multiple heads and leaves a fiery wake when flying. The wood demon Arşuri (Арçури; Russian: Арзюри; Turkish: Arçura) often turns into a snake, but more often he looks like Şüräle. The Iranian dragon, Ajdaha (Аçтаха), is also mentioned from time to time, probably due to Iranian influence to Volga Bulgaria.
