Baba Yaga is an old witch woman known in Slavic fairy tales as an antagonist with an appetite for young children. Most of her depictions have the old woman flying around the forest atop a giant mortar, wielding a pestle, and living in a hut mounted on a pair of chicken legs. While she can play the role of sage to lost souls, her character is consistently solitary.
