406: Slavic folklore: Udder Nonsense

🐄Baba Yaga, Dragons, Giant Talking Pigs🐄 We'll see what happens when a king who wants one son gets more than he bargained for: three sons, with the oddest one of all, the one capable of calming dragons (when he's not slaying them) and outsmarting giant evil pigs (when he's not slaying them), being born...from a cow.

😈 The Creature: Coliunn Gun Cheaun
The worst, best headless friend you hopefully never had.
