This page was drawn after I read A Study of Dragons of Eastern Europe by Ronesa Aveela. Here are some notes for context on the designs:
Lamya - Body is reptilian and huge with scarlet or yellow scales. Possesses webbed wings and dog-like heads (3/7/9) with horns and jaws wide enough to swallow a buffalo whole
Smok - Derived from ordinary snakes that, after incredibly long lives, grow to enormous sizes
Zmey - As they fly, sparks form from their scales
Balaur [which is Romanian, not Slavic] - Comes from a snake that fulfills a certain task (not being seen, not biting a human, not letting sun fall on it, etc.), Three types, living in the skies (come down to drink water, which is stored in the tail), land, or water
I really liked the design for the sky balaur, which stands out compared to the more generic land and water varieties. The water-filled tail acting as a pressure sprayer is also a super cool idea. The lamya design was refined into this drawing with Drake.

Dinofact #53
The largest carnivorous archosaur of late Triassic central Europe, Smok wawelski may be a rauisuchid (large predatory Triassic archosaur), prestosuchid (active terrestrial Triassic apex predator), ornithosuchid pseudosuchian (distant relative of crocodilians), or a primitive theropod dinosaur. However, its relation to other archosaurs has not been thoroughly studied, so its status as dinosaur, crocodile, or other remains a mystery.

#Archovember Day 21 - Smok wawelski
Named after the Wawel Dragon of Polish legend, the enigmatic Smok wawelski is in fact so enigmatic that the mythical beast is still what pops up first when you google it. I had been avoiding including Smok in Archovember for the past three years simply because we Just Don’t Know what it is. And it’s a little hard to draw something when all paleontologists know about it is “well, it’s an archosaur? And it’s uh… big?”
Living in Late Triassic Poland, Smok wawelski was larger than any known Triassic or early Jurassic predatory archosaur. Estimated at 5 to 6 metres (16 to 20 ft) in length, it was certainly the apex predator of Europe. Examination of Smok coprolites (fossilized poop) indicate that it was able to crush and swallow bone… including it’s own teeth which had likely broken during feeding! It was a generalized predator, feeding on a variety of fish, temnospondyls, and dicynodonts, and was able to extract the salt and marrow from these animals’ bones. Other than that, it has not been thoroughly studied. It could be some kind of pseudosuchian, or it could be an early theropod dinosaur. We Just Don’t Know. But it sure must have been a formidable dragon either way.
Smok would have lived alongside the neotheropod dinosaur Liliensternus, the rauisuchids Polonosuchus and Teratosaurus, a silesaurid, temnospondyls, and the elephant-sized dicynodont Lisowicia.

Post you reblogged about the Żmij made me think about how even within cultures there can be a wide range of dragons with a wide range of traits (sometimes antithetical to each other) and I think people should talk about that more. Talk about the different slavic dragons and how they fight one another, or talk about the differences between a Ryu, Tatsu, Mizuchi, and Wani.
I think with the East Asian examples, they are actually very different creatures that just got labelled as dragons by Europeans because of similarities.
The Eastern European examples however are extremely interesting to me because oftentimes there are different words like variants of zmaj, smok, lamia or azhdaha, which at their core all mean dragon but get used to differenciate creatures that play very different roles in their myths.
But since all I have to work here are German and English folklorists and the rare English text by a Slavic (and even rarer Romanian, Hungarian, Albanian or Greek) folklorist, I'm not sure how much of this stuff is just generalization and categorization by folklorists and how different the regional beliefs actually are.
So yeah, comments by people who know more about Eastern European folklore are greatly appreciated.
