Baba Yaga

10 July 2006, 17:48

There's a small mistake in the information on the Baba Yaga page. Right now, at the very bottom, it says this:

Notes: [1] The game is very similar to Abracadabra. Baba Yaga is a witch in the game, possibly from a French fairytale, while in Abracadabra, the main role is played by a wizard called Satanicus, probably for another audience.

[2] The game is part of the "Once upon a time" series. Green foliage scenes.

[3] The Abracadabra WHD install also supports Baba Yaga.

Baba Yaga's a witch from Russian folklore who lived in a hut with chicken legs and moved 'round, sitting in a giant mortar, pushing herself forward with a giant pestle. She's as French as poodl... ehh no, poodles're pretty French. Anyways, Baba Yaga's Russian

More information 'bout her can be found here.

Thanks very much!

Hut with chicken legs?
Hmm, Otfried Preussler too uses this "hut on a chicken leg" in his children's book "Die kleine Hexe" (The Little Witch). Wonder what's the origin of this

As far as I know, it's originally Russian. It's also used in Sierra's Quest for Glory 1, btw

That evil witch in there's called Baba Yaga too, and has a hut on chicken legs.

Mm. In the story I read she had a gnarly set of metal teeth that she used to eat children with. Gaius Helen Mohiam, anyone? *giggle*
