Domovoi

A domovoi looks like the master of the house and takes the same interest in it. He minds the stock, plaits the manes of horses he approves of, tugs the beard of anyone asleep when there is work, and groans in the night before a death or a fire. A family that moves must invite him aloud, with bread and salt, or the new house turns against them.
