| Jul 1, 2021 at 10:28 | comment | added | henning no longer feeds AI | I don't have an answer, but if you look for a somewhat popular example of a slightly stupid dragon, Poldi comes to mind. See also here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallo_Spencer#Poldi | |

| Jun 30, 2021 at 7:49 | comment | added | Photon | "Zmeya" means "snake", "zmey" is the masculine form of it and means something like a wyrm or serpent. Possibly "Gorynych" has some relation with "goret'" (to burn), but the connection is so weak that it is not recognized by people, unless they are etymologists. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zmei_(Russian) | |
| Jun 30, 2021 at 6:41 | comment | added | tofro | It would be helpful to know if some of the name elements actually mean something in Russian (I understand, for examle, that "gory-" is supposed to mean "burn" (correct me if I'm wrong, please). | |
| Jun 30, 2021 at 3:11 | comment | added | Photon | Originally it is a personal name, but it is indeed used as a generic name in the sentence in question. | |
| Jun 29, 2021 at 23:24 | comment | added | Paul Frost | Is "Zmey Gorynych" used as a generic name (like dragon) or a personal name (like Tabaluga)? | |
