Scorpia

Scorpia is a prominent figure in Romanian folklore, often appearing in tales involving the zmei and their battles. She is sometimes referred to as the "Mother of the Zmei" or "Gheonoaia's sister," indicating a complex and potentially hierarchical relationship with other mythical creatures.

She is a being with supernatural properties, usually embodied as a female monster with many heads, who breathes flames from her nostrils and whose blood has miraculous properties.

Scorpia is known for her ability to control the weather, bringing whirlwinds and storms. She is also a shape-shifter and can appear in different forms to deceive or scare people. Some accounts suggest she can lure travelers into the forest, where she eats them.

Scorpia is sometimes associated with the "Other Realm", a realm of fantastical creatures, including the zmei and other mythical beings. This suggests a link between Scorpia and the supernatural or otherworldly aspects of Romanian folklore.
