An evil wizard or a demon who kidnaps young women and keeps his soul (or as he calls it, his death) unatached from his body in a remote hard-to-reach place.]]> 2020-12-03 21:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/AnnaShapo/1h8zb2wt357ckb9v/wish/985813325 AnnaShapo https://padlet.com/AnnaShapo/1h8zb2wt357ckb9v/wish/985832513 I am glad (actually not) to present you KOSHCHEI THE DEATHLESS (or THE IMMORTAL)]]> 2020-12-03 21:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/AnnaShapo/1h8zb2wt357ckb9v/wish/985832513 Appearance AnnaShapo https://padlet.com/AnnaShapo/1h8zb2wt357ckb9v/wish/985856338 What does Koshchei look like?
Well no one can say it for sure as none of the fairytales give an exact description. Some sources say Koshchei’s name may come from the Russian word "kost" meaning "bone" thus suggesting a skeleton-like appearance.

He is very often thought to be an ugly old man. But he’s also a very strong dark wizard. So he is definitely not a wuss, huh.

He can terrify his opponents with blood-curdling cries or to charm and induce sleep when necessary.
Koshchei can also turn himself into a storm. He is able to see with his eyes closed.(I wish I had this ability too)

Koshchei keeps his victims locked up in his castle. The hero of every tale sets out to find the bride: he wants to bring his beloved back home and kill Koshchey. And that is where he faces difficulties.]]> 2020-12-03 22:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/AnnaShapo/1h8zb2wt357ckb9v/wish/985907347 Death of the Deathless AnnaShapo https://padlet.com/AnnaShapo/1h8zb2wt357ckb9v/wish/985920018
Koshchey is called the Deathless because he cannot be killed by usual means. His death is stored in the eye of a needle, which is inside an egg, which is inside a duck, which is inside a hare, which is locked in an iron chest, which is buried under a green oak tree, which is on the magic island of Buyan, which is in the middle of the ocean. (Oh man...)
Koshchei can only be killed by breaking the magic needle or, sometimes, by destroying the egg. (This is where Joan Rowling might have got the idea of Horcruxes for her “Harry Potter “books.)
