Description Cat Bajun - legendary man-eating cat. He is said to live in the forests of Siberia. Known for his large size and strength, he is able to break every cuirass. By humming a melody he makes people tired and sleepy. Bajun is known as Baba Yaga’s companion and ruler of wolves and bears. His name derives from Russian word баюкать, which translates to sopite. 

He tells made up stories to the encountered travelers. Those who have not enough strength to resist his charm and who are not prepared to fight him are ruthlessly killed. But the one who can catch him will find salvation for all diseases and, what is worth mentioning, Bajun’s tales have healing properties.

This has such a beautiful storybook quality! I never would have guessed that it was digital, it looks like a scanned page out of a fable. (It also gives me a new story to look into! Very interesting)

Ah thank you so much! This was exactly what I was aiming for and I'm glad I achieved the look I was looking through old Russian children's books and it's such an inspiration~ 
There are a few Russian legends about Bajun, but I don't know if any of them is translated
