Title: Baba Yaga
Author: Folk Tales
Baba Yaga lives in a log cabin, which moves about Sosaria on six chicken legs. You might have seen her house in the distance, running a scared rabbit to ground. Her house likes to roost on the edge of the Bog of Desolation. She's built a fence of rabbit bones in front of it, topped off with the fire-charred skulls of two people who offended her long ago. Sometimes Baba Yaga leaves her house at home and flies about in her giant mortar, steering with the pestle and smacking people on the head as she goes past.
The house has two rooms: a parlor where she cackles over her horrible plans and scribbles her secrets in spiky handwriting, and a kitchen where she makes horrid pies and stews. It has no bedroom, so Baba Yaga sleeps on the straw roof.
Baba Yaga is very old. She's so old she's lost all her teeth, but she forced a blacksmith to make her iron teeth.
Baba Yaga's favorite food is bunny rabbits. She eats them whole or bakes them into a pie. Sometimes she bites the ears off and makes the rest into a stew. She'll even eat an Easter Bunny! They're her favorite. Some years she eats ten Easter Bunnies, gobbles them up, bones and all! The green grass from their Easter baskets hangs from her iron teeth for days.
Maybe some day Baba Yaga will have eaten all of the Easter Bunnies. Then what will good children do on Easter? They'll have no eggs to find or candy to eat. Perhaps they'll have turnip hunts and eat candied turnips instead!
