Zhytsen
good сreature
HELLO, IT’s me
Everybody knows me as Zhytsen – a good Belarusian mythological creature that lives in fields. It is believed, that I contribute to good ripening of crops and vegetables. I am of medium height and really old. I can boast of my third eye in the back of my head, which is needed to complete my tasks more efficiently.
I love walking through the fields and ensure that crops there are well reaped.
