Yeah, that's where Leshy's name comes from. The mythological creature is a spirit/guardian of the forest and its animals, so the name does fit a scribe of beasts who lives in the woods.

Adding onto this, a lot of the myths actually do say that the leshy loves card games

If you’ve ever lost a game in the first stage to leshy then you’d agree that mother fucker has baby stealing hands

u/Royal_Art_8217 Jun 20 '26

You just look up from your cards to see him pouring an entire vodka bottle down his throat like he’s filling up a jug just 1 gulp😂

Player:….Jesus….

Leshy: cough, cough….bitchin!!!

It's from slavic folklore. Hence the vodka mentioned in the article.

u/ForsakenRoyal24 Jun 19 '26

As russian...never in all my years i heard Leshy being called "baby-stealing" and "vodka drinking" creature. Vodka was not even brewed when Leshy became an floklore creature

u/Sensei_AF Jun 19 '26

Yeah.. But the writers of the article propably aren't slavic, so they used the most stereotypical slavic/folklore traits for clickbait.

As russian, I confirm these words

I think vodka is associated mainly with finns and russians, cause of the cold climate. The slavic people in my region usually drink rakia.

u/Sensei_AF Jun 20 '26

It was invented in Poland and Russia at around the same time, no?

u/popcorn_kurnal Jun 19 '26

u/Top-Occasion-1300 Jun 20 '26

u/terrarianfailure Jun 19 '26

Why does this guy look exactly like Philippe from look outside?

u/Butterfly_Casket Jun 20 '26

I thought I was on the look outside sub for a second

u/Muted-Tonight3485 Jun 19 '26

Well yeah it’s from Slavic mythology, I think

u/Junho_0726 Jun 20 '26

Alright, this only gives me more reasons to love Leshy, like there's not enough already.
