Barbegazi: spirits who live in the mountains and caves. They live in tunnels and sneak through the mountains. They have long, white, frozen beards. They often rest at the very top of mountains. Their feet are enormous, and their hair and bearsd are thick icicles. If the ice melts, they have normal white hair beneath. They use their large feet as skis or snowshoes. They sleep through the summer, if they can. They love to ride down avalanches and can dig themselves out of (or into) the snow easily. They will warn others of hazards in the mountains by whistling or hooting, and they are known to rescue people or animals after heavy snows or avalanches.
