Kikimora is a female character from Slavic mythology, who lives in people’s homes, causing damage and minor mischief to the household and its inhabitants. Kikimora is pictured as a small, ugly, hunchbacked old woman, a ridiculous, disfigured, sloppy hag dressed in rags. She is so tiny and meagre that she won’t leave the house, lest the wind blow her away. When she appears in the house, Kikimora bangs on the pots and pans and throws them around, waking everybody up, slams the lid on the chimney, throws onions from the cellar, fur coats, and pillows at people, pulls the man of the house by his hair and hens by their feathers.
