 I won't tell you about slavonic gods, because for me they are not so interesting as other creatures, among who one of them is very popular today, but your vision for it is pretty different than slavonic believes.

First are Samodivi. They are virgins, beautiful female creatures, usually they are blonde and some of them have wings. Somidivi  live in the deep forest and they have one glade where they make theirs meetings and female intrigues.They keep their glade at big secret if some man finds it, he will never get back or if he gets back, he will be too sick and will die after some days. The power of somodivite is at their clothes if some man can steal their clothes they become his slave or adopt him. Somodivite like much music, so they steal people /usually man/ who can sing or play and never get back him! Samodivite appear at the spring and summer. They like very much holly days and kill the people who don't honour them

Next creature is Lamia. Lamiata is female creature and looks like the dragon, but she is bigger and lives deeply at the sea or the forest. Lamiata likes eats people and usually push some villages to nourish her. Although that Lamiata is so fearful many heros kill them /as hobby/. One of them is Krali Marko who is adopted by Samodiva and after he beats Lamiata, broke much enemy heads.

The biggest enemy of Lamiata is Zmeia. Zmeia is male creature, handsome and nourish with milk, bread and wine. They like the people and much more like the  locally beauty.

Now is a turn of the familiar vampires. To become a vampire is not need to be bitten by Vlad Drakula.  A vampire is  the soul of dead man/woman, which corpse was jumped  from cat or has a ulcer or was too bad at  his/her life. For those sins the God don't allow him to enter in the world of the deads and they stay at the world of the lives. So he hasn't a tie with the devil.  Vampires look like shadows or animals - dog, cat, hen. The vampires usually are stupid and believe on everything which you tell him/her and they fear from almost everything - wolfs, water, iron, animals bones, fire, light, thorn. The vampires from "low level" make only bad things on their live relatives - walking on the walls, clang with dishes, excruciate them. Vampires from higher level drink blood and are much powerful. All of them can be caught by so called - vampirdjii /people who pursue vampires/. After they catch him, they boiled him in a cauldron and kill him! If you go to the graveyards and the grave has a hole or is concave, be sure this man is vampire! To stop him drill his body with hot nail!

Well I know, but if I started to explain all of them....it'd be better to write a book
