Wow lot of terrible ideas on here. I feel less like an fool making a guess now.

Considering most every myth on the show is heavily drawn from Romani myths, (even the undead werewolves coming back stuck in wolf form) the best idea would be to start there. Two that jump out are the balaur (more draconic creature) and the more likely zmeu. Zmeu supposedly had shapeshifting abilities and were also prone to kidnapping damsels and items or weapons of great value and hiding them away until the hero could rescue them. Generally they jump back into human form and are killed at the end of the myth/ folktale.

So considering the serpentine cast, the kidnapping at the end, just seems to most likely.

Fyi, no Im not Romanian. I can read and im not a complete idiot. I love HP Lovecraft, but seriously? Solid Slavic myths, then bam H.P.? What the hell people?
