Brave as a Fairy: Albanian Mythology

Prende was a goddess of love in the Albanian folklore. She was the wife of Perendi and referred to in Albanian legends aszoja e bukuris ("the queen of beauty"), while her sacred day was Friday.
When Albania became Christianized in the early Middle Ages, Prende was identified by the Catholic Church as Saint Anne, mother of Virgin Mary Albanian: Shënepremte or Prende, known in Gheg dialect as Prenne or Petka.

The zana e malit is an Albanian mythological creature (Albanian: Zane or Zëre in southern Albania) ("fairy of the mountain" in English), zana (as a definite noun), or zanë (plural) of pre-Roman Paleo-Balkan origin. Its etymology is related to Latin Diana its also similar to the Bardha. The Zana are thought to have observed the speeches at theLeague of Prizren at 1878.  In Northern Albania and Kosovo every mountain was said to have its own zana, who appeared as a fair maiden found bathing naked in mountain streams. The zana is believed to be extremely courageous, a formidable opponent, who can bestow her protection on warriors. Albanians even have an expression Ai ishte trim si zana, meaning, "He was as brave as a fairy", this is used to refer to very courageous individuals.The zana is believed to have the power to petrify humans with a glance.

Bolla (also known as Bullar in South Albania), is a type of serpentic dragon (or a demonic dragon-like creature) with a long, coiled, serpentine body, four legs and small wings in ancient Albanian folklore. This dragon sleeps throughout the whole year, only to wake on Saint George's Day, where its faceted silver eyes peer into the world. The Bolla does this until it sees a human. It devours the person, then closes its eyes and sleeps again. In its twelfth year, the bolla evolves by growing nine tongues, horns, spines and larger wings. At this time it will learn how to use its formerly hidden fire-breathing abilities, and is now called a Kuçedra (hydra). The Kuçedra causes droughts and lives off human sacrifices. The Kuçedra is sometimes also represented as an enormous woman with a hairy body and hanging breasts. In other mythologies it corresponds to the Lernaean Hydra of the Greek Mythology.

Djall is an Albanian god of evil and death.  In modern Albania Djall is the name of the Devil. He is also called Dreq from the Latin Draco (cf. Romanian Dracul). 

E Bukura e Dheut (English: Beauty of the Earth ) is a character in Albanian folklore, a crafty fairy. Her sisters are E Bukura e Detit (English: Beauty of the Sea) and E Bukura e Qiellit (English: Beauty of Heaven). E Bukura e Dheut is beauty itself, golden-haired, but may also appear in the form of an arap with black skin. She may be a good spirit or (more often) evil, with magical powers the derive from her dress, and lives in the underworld, where her palace is guarded by a three-headed dog or a kulshedra. Many stories describe heroes who attempt to gain a strand of her golden hair. If he succeeds, she may be crafty and attempt to steal his possessions, but in the end, if he succeeds at all the labors she requires, she will become his faithful wife.
