Dvorovoy
Slavic spirit
The Dvorovoy (Russian: Дворовой) is a Slavic spirit of the courtyard. It was associated with a farmstead's grounds, cattle shed, and stable.[1] The dvorovoy is similar to the house spirit domovoi, though it is less benevolent.[2] A dvorovoy is considered more dangerous than a domovoi as it could pose a threat to livestock, particularly animals with white fur.[1][2]
