In Slavic folklore, the mythical creature resembling a domovik and believed to protect households is the domovoy. These spirits are thought to inhabit homes, ensuring the well-being of the family and domestic harmony. Often depicted as small, bearded figures, domovoys are benevolent but can become mischievous if disrespected. Their presence emphasizes the connection to the home and the significance of domestic traditions in Slavic culture. Rituals aimed at honoring these spirits serve as manifestations of the community's values regarding family and kinship.
