Zmeu
Usually, the zmeu resides in the "other world" (celălalt tărâm) and sometimes Făt-Frumos has to descend into his dark kingdom, implying that the zmeu lives underground.
He is an outlandish beast that has a female version in some stories. Different from balaur or vârcolac, the Zmeu has human features. It has physical traits such as legs or arms and the ability to create weapons. A strong desire to kidnap and marry young girls animates him. By taking the shape of a dragon, appearing in the sky and spitting fire, the Zmeu belongs to a particular category of villains. He is smart and hard-to-defeat. Sometimes it is described wearing a shiny magical stone on its head, making it more difficult for Făt-Frumos, the Romanian Prince Charming, to crush it.
